Encryption mechanism has two major components in a certificate. 1 is a private key that resides on your computer and is never
given to anybody else and 2nd is the public key that is published to every one with whom you want to have secure communication.
With ekrypt technology your public keys are published on a global directory server which is available to everyone.
