Not just short messages.


If I encrypt, say, my database with my public key, only i could use it. This is where key management comes in.

I get my friends private key. Via AIM, email, secret meeting, whatever

I can then encrypt to it during export.

But why need to encrypt anything? (my method of local databases, anyway. But I'm not sure I like that. (convenience issues).
