How does the menten certificate and encryption as such actually work?
Encryption is the process of changing a readable and logic text into a cryptic one by using certain encryption algorythms with one or more keys: Symmetric key encryption with only one key assumes that both communication partners are in possession of the same key and must have exchanged this key in a safe way before starting to communicate. Public key encryption features of the usage of a pair of keys for each participant of a communication. One key of each key pair is publicated (the public key which is used for sending an encrypted message to the owner of the key pair), the other key is kept secret (the private key which serves the recipient of an encrypted message for decryption). This system is called asynchronous because each key of a key pair can only be used for encryption or decryption. menten uses public key encryption with the asynchronous system and provides its public key on this website. You may use it to send encrypted e-mails to menten. menten is able to decrypt your encr
