When you invite another user to join Confidencial with an individual account, a temporary key pair is generated for their account so you can immediately encrypt content for them. This temporary key is stored in Confidencial’s secure key server. Once the invited user registers their account, they will generate a more secure split key. All subsequent encryptions for them will use the split key.
There are two ways to invite users to join Confidencial with an individual account:
Inviting users via the Invites page in the web or desktop app
Once logged in to the web or desktop app, click Invite in the sidebar menu
Your menu options may vary depending on your account type.
