  Public key encryption is a special case of encryption. It operates using a combination of two keys:
  
  a private key and
  a public key,
  which together form a pair of keys.
  
  The private key is kept secret on your computer since it is used for decryption.
  
  The public key, which is used for encryption, is given to anybody who wants to send encrypted mail to you.
