The creation of keys is done by selecting the following Menu Option:

Key Management
Key Creation and Administration

You will see the following screen (Mac OSX version shown):

This is where you setup your clients/contacts and your/their Shared Secrets. In addition, for each client you setup you can assign two passwords, a Master password and a Usage Password. For an explanation of the two passwords see the Key Management Introduction section.

To Insert a contact, just start typing and fill in the five information fields, from Name to Usage Password. When complete press Save, and Save again to confirm.

To Edit a contact, select the contact from the list on the left hand side of the screen. You will see the Name and Email Address but the Shared Secret and the Passwords are encrypted and not readable. To view this data and edit it you need to input the Master Password for this contact into the Decode Password area of the screen and press the Decode button. You can then edit the information and save it using the Save button.

To Delete a contact, select the contact from the list on the left hand side of the screen. You will need to input the Master Password for this contact into the Decode Password area of the screen and press the Decode button. You can then press the Delete button to erase the record.

Note: Deleted records are gone and cannot be retrieved.

If you intend entering a number of clients or contacts you may already have them stored in a database or spreadsheet somewhere. If that is the case then you should Import the records which will save you time and increase information accuracy.

Note: You will need to edit each record later to apply the Shared Secret and Password(s).

To Import records you have three choices which can be selected using the ‘radio’ buttons on the bottom left of the window. When you have selected the type of import you require press the Import button. The three choices are:

Tab - Tab Delimited

This is the Tab Import Window. The fields required are Name and Email Address. Select the import file using the Select File button. Select the records you would like to import, and save them to the Key Management database using the Save Selected button.

ContaX - ContaX CRM Import

This is the ContaX (http://www.r10contax.com) Import Window. You point R10Cipher at your ContaX database, using the Select DB button, and this pulls data into the import window, allows you to sort by Type and then import the selected records using the Save Selected button.

Address Book - Apple Only

This is the Apple Address Book Import Window. Select the records to import and save them to R10Cipher using the Save Selected button.
