<title>How is a Public key different from a Private key?</title>
<p>Although <em>Public Keys</em> and <em>Private Keys</em> are both referred
- to as keys, you can actually think of a <em>Public Key</em> as being like a
- padlock, and you can think of a <em>Private Key</em> as being like a key that
- unlocks the padlock.</p>
-
- <p>As an example, imagine that you want your friends to send you a secret
- message in a locked box. Using our analogy, you would first give each of your
- friends a box and a duplicate copy of a padlock. However, only you would have
- the key that unlocks those padlocks. You would keep that key private - you
- wouldn't share it with anyone.</p>
-
- <p>Your friends could then place their secret messages into their boxes, and
- lock the boxes with the padlocks. They would then send you the locked boxes
- via messenger, and you could open the boxes with your key.</p>
+ to as <em>keys</em>, it helps to think of them a bit differently. Try to
+ think of a <em>Public Key</em> as being like a padlock, and a
+ <em>Private Key</em> as being like a key that unlocks the padlock.</p>
+
+ <p>Let's use an example to see how this works. Imagine that you want your
+ friends to send you a secret message in a locked box. You could give each
+ of your friends a box and a padlock, but only you would have the key that
+ unlocks the padlocks.</p>
+
+ <p>Each friend could place their message into their box, and lock the box.
+ They could send you their locked box in the mail, and you could unlock all
+ of the boxes that you receive with your key.</p>
<p>This is similar to how a <em>Public Key</em> and a <em>Private Key</em>
work. Like the padlock, you can freely give out your <em>Public Key</em>. This
- will make it easy for anyone to securely encode a message that they want to
- send to you. Similarly, you will want to keep your <em>Private Key</em> safe.
- The <em>Private Key</em> is the tool that you will use to decode the secure
- messages that you receive.</p>
+ will make it easy for anyone to securely encrypt, or lock, a message that
+ they want to send to you. Similarly, you will want to keep your
+ <em>Private Key</em> safe. The <em>Private Key</em> is what allows you to
+ decrypt, or unlock, the secure messages that you receive.</p>
