Sending to

This field shows the current recipient.  Since multiple contacts may have been selected to be sent the key, the name shown will change as the transfer to each contact is initiated.

Progress

For each recipient, this field will initially report that you are waiting for the recipient to accept the transfer.  Once they have accepted the transfer, this field will show a progress bar, indicating the amount of data that has been transferred.

 

When the recipient accepts the Key Transfer, the key is sent from your myKryptofon to theirs, privately and securely, with AES 256-bit encryption. 

 

When the transfer has completed, if you had specified more than one Contact to receive the key, myKryptofon will automatically begin the transfer with the next recipient.  When the key has been sent to all recipients, this window will automatically close.
