Decryption

KMail and Kontact detect messages that have been encrypted using Chiasmus and will automatically ask for the key file to use for decryption, as well as the corresponding password. If the password is correct, the message will be decrypted and displayed.

To decrypt attachments that were encrypted using Chiasmus (i.e. those which have a file name ending in .xia), right-click on the attachment you want to decrypt and select Decrypt using Chiasmus . After you have chosen a key file to be used for decryption and entered the correct password for it, a file selection dialog will allow you to specify where the decrypted attachment should be saved.
