keyless identify verification (once someone signs up for an account, they will get their own unique

The relationship between these two
keys is, well, the
key to understanding how
encryption works in messaging (and all communications): anyone sending an encrypted message «locks» the content using a
public key, which means that the only person that can «unlock» and read the message is whoever has the corresponding private
key.

key encryption system like those that safeguard most financial transactions online.
Essentially, we'll need a mathematical shortcut to get from the plain e-mail and the encrypted e-mail to the
encryption key — that is, a known - plaintext cryptanalytic attack — and no such attack is currently known to the
public for AES - 256.
This can be described in terms of a specific technology, such as dual -
key encryption in the framework of a
public key infrastructure (PKI), for example.
