Ariba cloud integration gateway (CIG) is an integration solution developed by Ariba which is powered by SAP Cloud Integration Technology.  Ariba CIG makes integration of ERP with Ariba Network efficient. The integration setup which would take months, if we use legacy integration tools like SAP PI,  to go live can be done within weeks with CIG.  I would break the interface development process in CIG into three parts: Configuration in ECC. Configuration in CIG. Configuration in Ariba Network. Configuration in ECC: Create RFC connection using SM59.                    Create Logical System.          Create Port.         Create Receiver Port.          Activate the interface.

As per the definition of Wikipedia : Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is an encryption program that provides cryptographic privacy and authentication for data communication . PGP is used for signing , encrypting, and decrypting texts, e-mails , files, directories, and whole disk partitions and to increase the security of e-mail communications.
