The user only needs to install a Nyms supporting email client or webmail browser extension and they're good to go for transparent communication with any other Nyms user. Registration and maintenance of keys is entirely automated. Making everything as easy as possible for users without compromising on strong guarantees about key authenticity is the whole point of this project.

Maintenance of private keys is automated?
- brl 12y ago
  Maintenance of public keys is automated, by which I mean the user does not need to do anything manually for them to be published and recertified before they expire. Private keys don't need maintenance after generation since they are simply stored on the user's computer.

    So you can't read your email on another computer or phone?

      You can copy your private keys to another device obviously, and eventually Nyms can help you do this by brokering an end-to-end encrypted tunnel between devices to transfer keys securely.
