How does my private key help me receive a file?

note

You do not have to perform anything in the front end; the following process happens in under 0.1ms automatically.

Receiving a file requires the fingerprint of your key and your private key blended.

fingerprint + private key = digital signature

Once the sender's digital signature is sent to you, your public key is used to verify the user's digital signature you received.

info
  • You cannot perform anything in the system without your public key.
  • The public key is stored on the server.
