Export Local Key…

If you want to share encrypted documents with other users, you must all share the

encryption key(s) used to encrypt the documents.

In order to share encryption keys that you have created with other users, you need to

export the key to these other users. These other users must in turn import the key

you have exported. When exported, the encryption key is packaged into a protected

format, a file with SKS as extension. The SKS file is protected with a password that

“transport password”. The SKS file may very well be sent as an e-mail attachment.
