Most important part of encryption is to understand it's basic concept. This basic understanding of how encryption works will help you avoid confusion, issues and provide a more clear picture of what is happening and how to apply it to your daily communication.

Lacre does require you to understand the basics in order to use it without compromising security. It is built in a way that hides the encryption from users. However, it is better to understand what is happening. It empowers us all when realizing that there is no magic trickery, the concept is simple and you are in the front seat.

GPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is one of the most popular encryption methods to secure email correspondance and files between people. GnuPG uses asymmetric encryption technology. It means you create two types of keys. Secret and public key. Public key is used by others to encrypt messages to you. You can (and should) share that key with everyone you want to secure your communication with. There are even special public servers called "keyservers" where you can post your key so that anyone could obtain it. The second key is your Secret (private) key. This key is used to decrypt emails addressed to you. Loosing or sharing this key with others will result in either loosing access to your emails or allowing others to read your private emails. It is therefore essential to never share this key with anyone and to keep a backup copy of it.

Both don't want the whole world to be able to read it.
So Alice will "hide" the email in an envelope closed with a lock that only Bob can open.
The problem is that Bob can't send the key to his lock to Alice through email, otherwise, any one could use it to open his lock and read everything inside the envelope.

As you can see you can decide to either save the exported public key to a file or "Copy" the key to your Clipboard. You can do either one, but if you don't plan on uploading your public key directly, it's better to export to a file.
