Week 13

Basic key import and management is available now. The private keys are encrypted with a passphrase provided by the user and stored locally, while the public keys are stored unencrypted. Every private key stored is encrypted with a key generated from the associated passphrase using AES in CBC mode. The following figures show how to import a private key:

1. Click "Set a private key".

2. Copy and paste your private key, and then enter the passphrase used for encryption.

3. Click "Set". Now your private key is stored locally and encrypted with the key generated from your passphrase.

To import the public keys from the publishers, first login with your passphrase.

Then click "Import a public key".

Copy and paste the public key you want to import, and enter your publisher's group number.

Hit "Import" and you are all set. Now you can use the extension as shown in the previous blogs.
