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.
