Sam,

The TALX PGP Key expires periodically.  We have some time, but wanted to
get this on your radar so that you have plenty of time to do what is
necessary to comply and keep us current.

Thanks,

Dear TALX Client,

Just a friendly reminder that the current TALX Corporation PGP Public
key 

will expire on 7/28/2009 and will no longer encrypt files after this
date.  

As part of TALX's security policy, PGP keys expire on a semi-annual
basis to 

better protect confidential data.  

The new TALX public key is attached to this e-mail and is also available

at the following websites (The key is the same on each site): 

http://www.talx.com/pgp/ <http://www.talx.com/pgp/> 

http://www.theworknumber.com/pgp/ <http://www.theworknumber.com/pgp/>   

               http://www.ucexpress.com/pgp/
<http://www.ucexpress.com/pgp/> 

Please begin using this new key on or before 7/28/2009.  Instructions
for

downloading and using this key are at the end of this email. 

The new TALX public key file name is talxcorp01312010Public.asc and is
scheduled

to expire on 1/31/2010.  Approximately one month before the key
expiration

we will provide a new public key for you to download.   We will notify
you via

email once the new key is available in order for you to have time to
implement.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your Client
Relationship

Manager (CRM).  Do not reply to this e-mail as it is being sent from a 

"send-only" account that is not being monitored.

MORE PGP FILE ENCRYPTION INFORMATION

TALX requires using file-based encryption when transmitting over the
Internet.

The encryption method is Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) version 6.5 or
greater

by PGP Corporation (http://www.pgp.com/index.html
<http://www.pgp.com/index.html> ).  This software is

downward compatible to all UNIX and Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista versions. 

PGP works by using a PUBLIC key and a PRIVATE key.  The transmitter of
data

encrypts the transmission file with the receiver's public key.  The only
way that

this file can be unencrypted is when the right private key (which is
under

security control by the TALX Dataload team) is then matched with the

encrypted file and the correct pass phrase is entered. 

The key "talxcorp01312010Public.asc" is for PGP versions 6.5 and
greater.  The 
key uses Diffie-Hellman/Digital Signal Standard encryption, with a 2048
bit
Diffie-Hellman key size.  This new public key will expire on January 31,
2010.
A new version of this key will be available for download within a month
of that date.

Along with encryption, PGP software also compresses the file to around
10

percent of the original size, greatly reducing transfer times.

The implementation procedure is as follows:

1. Client downloads the TALX public key from

http://www.talx.com/pgp <http://www.talx.com/pgp> ,

http://www.theworknumber.com/pgp/ <http://www.theworknumber.com/pgp/>
or 

http://www.ucexpress.com/pgp/ <http://www.ucexpress.com/pgp/>  

(The key is the same at each URL) and save the key to a local drive by
right

clicking on the hyperlink on the website and selecting "Save Target As."

2. Client imports public key with PGP software onto their PGP software
"keyring"

*	Open PGP keys 
*	Select Keys 
*	Select Import Key and find where you saved the TALX Public Key 
*	Verify and sign key if required in your configuration

3. Client prepares file for transmission.

4. Client encrypts file with our public key using PGP software

*	 Right click on your file (in Windows Explorer) 
*	 Select PGP, then select encrypt 
*	 Double click on the TALX Public Key

(*The encrypted file will be built in the same location as the original
file.)

5. Client transmits file to TALX.  When transmitting via FTP you MUST

use BINARY transmission mode- as opposed to ASCII, which may be the
default.

6.  TALX decrypts the file using our private key and our password

Thank you,

TALX Corporation <http://www.talx.com/>
