What is Key Sharing?

Typically, employees share relevant and work-related information with each other. However, worrying about the data’s security during the sharing process is inevitable.

How Does Key Sharing Work?

In short: AxCrypt uses asymmetric encryption and a unique per-file session key. You share keys for access — not passwords..


AxCrypt uses Asymmetrical encryption to securely share the encrypted files. That means public key is used for encryption and private key is used for decryption. AxCrypt generates an RSA-4096 public and private key pair when an account is created. The private key is encrypted with your password.

Notes

Small but important details you should know before sharing files.

  1. We need to send the physical file(s) with the recipients, AxCrypt never sends the physical file.

  2. The person you’re sending the file to must use AxCrypt with the email address you shared the file with.

  3. The recipient just needs a free AxCrypt ID and will be automatically invited via email if necessary.
