As the world’s first Serverless Managed File Transfer software on AWS, Aayu Technologies LLC has recently released MFT Gateway 3.8.4; the latest update introducing new features such as predefined Encrypt/Sign algorithms from inbound AS2 messages, a queued message list for SFTP messages and more. Let’s dive into the new version to explore what’s new.
Set predefined Encrypt/Sign algorithms for inbound AS2 messages
A partner-level configuration has been added to define the expected incoming message encryption and sign algorithms. If defined, any incoming message that is not encrypted/signed with the specified inbound encryption/signature algorithm will be rejected. This is supported via both the web app and the REST API.

Queued message list for SFTP messages
To provide more visibility into SFTP messages to the users, the new release of MFT Gateway adds a separate message list to represent Queued SFTP messages.
Support for keystore files upload with different PKCS #12 and JKS extensions
Earlier, MFT Gateway only supported keystores with .jks, .pfx and .p12 file extensions for uploading through the Import From Keystore facility under the Certificate Management. With the latest update, MFT Gateway has been enhanced to support uploading .keystore / .ks and other JKS or PKCS #12 keystore file formats
Direct download of MFT Gateway webhook public key
Before the new release, if the user used webhook integration with the signature verification feature, they had to download the public certificate, and later convert it to the public key format to verify the signature. Now, the MFT Gateway allows direct download of the MFT Gateway webhook public key for ease of use.
Conclusion
To summarize what’s new in MFT Gateway’s new release, the latest deployment supports predefined Encrypt/Sign algorithms for inbound AS2 messages, Queued message list for SFTP messages, keystore files upload with different PKCS #12 and JKS extensions, and direct download of MFT Gateway webhook public key.
