How to easily encrypt files on an Android phone - and the free app I use to do it
"If you take mobile security seriously (and you should), then you might want to consider file encryption. This is all about encrypting files that you can either leave on your device and view when needed or share with others, knowing they can be viewed only by the recipient."
"Public key encryption uses a key pair: one private and one public. The private key remains on the recipient's device, while the public key is sent to those who need to send an encrypted file to them."
"Files encrypted with someone's private key can only be opened by someone who has the corresponding public key. Without that public key, there's no way to open the file."
File encryption on Android enhances mobile security by allowing users to encrypt files for personal use or secure sharing. OpenKeyChain is a free, open-source app that simplifies this process. It utilizes public key encryption, requiring users to create a private key and import a public key from recipients. This ensures that only intended recipients can access the encrypted files. The app makes it easy to manage keys and encrypt files, making mobile security more accessible for users.
