What is the Resource Key Exchange when Creating A File in tiCrypt?​

When you create a new file, your public key makes a "box" where the hidden resource key resides. Next, you automatically combine your public key with the hidden resource key from the "box" to create a new encrypted user key tagged by the resource ID and your user ID. At this point, the server can view the new encrypted user key. The new encrypted user key can now be decrypted only with your private key.

The above process takes place in 0.1 milliseconds.

note
  • You can only decrypt resource keys that were encrypted with your public key.
  • Cloning a resource key is useless because it is only encrypted with your key. As an admin, you can never create new encrypted user keys.
