PGP/GPG Encryption

madeinstein ,

Public/Private keys are used to send encrypted data between clients. The receiving client generates public/private key pair and sends the public key to all contributing clients. The contributing clients are using public key to decrypt the file. Receiving client is using the private key to encrypt the file. Private key should never be send to anyone outside!
