Scenario 1: Encrypting or Decrypting Text or a File from within R10Cipher
In these circumstances instead of having to remember and enter the Shared Secret for the contact you can instead select the Keys Tab and input the Master or Usage Password for the appropriate contact. Then choose the contact from the list. You can search for the contact and filter the list using the search box on the bottom left of the screen.

Select the contact in the list. If you have entered the correct Password the indicator will change from red to Green and the Shared Secret fields will be populated.

You can now encrypt text or files without having to enter the Shared Secret.
Another Advantage of retrieving the Shared Secret from the Key Management Database is that if you are sending an encrypted email, R10Cipher will know the email address and fill in the email header appropriately.

So instead of having to remember lots of Shared Secrets and Email Addresses, you only, using the Key Management Database, have to remember a minimum of one Password.

Scenario 2: Double Clicking an Encrypted File to Decrypt It
When double clicking an encrypted file you now see the following screen:

In these circumstances instead of having to remember and enter the Shared Secret for the contact you can instead input the Master or Usage Password for the appropriate contact.

You can search for the contact and filter the list using the search box on the bottom left of the screen.

Select the contact in the list. If you have entered the correct Password the indicator will change from red to Green and the Shared Secret fields will be populated.

Click Continue to decrypt your file.
