Then THAT key is encrypted with the public key of each recipient, and the package sent contains a copy for each recipient. So in pseudo-crypto(!), if the data is being sent to Phil, Charles, and CM, the package contains: This is for Phil: < copy of key K, encrypted with Phil's public key and possibly sender's private key> This is for Charles: < copy of key K, encrypted with Charles's public key and possibly sender's private key> This is for CM: < copy of key K, encrypted with CM's public key and possibly sender's private key> <payload, encrypted with key K> Make sense? ...phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
