Trace a Hybrid Encryption Flow
Trace the steps in a hybrid encryption workflow for secure file delivery.
Send a 600 MB regulator archive without emailing a shared password or reusing a long-lived team secret. Hybrid encryption: fresh symmetric file key plus recipient public-key protection for that file key. The common shortcut is to encrypt the archive with one shared password and send that password through the same collaboration channels used for the file.
