button to download the key pair. This is important as the private key is not stored by us for security reasons.
- After downloading the key pair, click the
Save Keys
button to save the key pair to the application. This will allow you to use the key pair to encrypt and decrypt data.
- You can view your keys, by naviagating to the keys page.
NOTE: You cannot modify or delete the key pair once it has been saved.
Adding Keys
- To add a key pair, click on the dashed box to select the key file or drag and drop the key file into the dashed box area.
Clearing/Changing Keys
- To clear the key pair, click on the
Clear
button. This will only clear the keys but not delete them from the application. Please ensure that you have a backup of the keys before clearing them.
Clearing keys is a High Risk Action, you will lose access to all case data encrypted with said keys.
