BOARD KEYS AS ATTACHMENTS



Selecting Board Key

Here we are going to attach board keys to a message being sent.  When you click on the icon highlighted in yellow, a small window opens showing available keys in your keypool folder/directory.  In this example  myboard.key has been chosen.  After selecting it, click Open.  If you are selecting to add a board key file that contains both a public and a private key, you will receive a warning message:

Warning

Here you can decide if you wish the private key attached to your message or not.  You can safely exchange your private board key with another 'trusted' user by signing and encrypting the entire message and publishing to a board that you have the private key to.  The recipient must at least have your public key to receive the message naturally.  Once again, these are all examples and you can over time probably come up with a number of combinations for using the tools that are provided with frost.

Once you have your keys attached, then proceed as normally to 'send' your message using frost.
