Key-Pair Generation

This screen is displayed while X-IM Setup generates your security keys. When the security keys have been generated click the "Finish" button to complete the setup process.

Two pairs of security keys are generated. One pair lets you decrypt your messages, and the other pair lets you apply your digital signature to messages. Each pair has a public and a private part. The private parts are encrypted on your computer, and the public parts are transmitted to anyone who wants to securely communicate with you.
