Common Issues/Questions
-
Decryption failed with error 'No Secret Key'
-
This is commonly caused when the wrong encryption key is used to decrypt the file. If decryption is being done on a computer other than the original computer used to create the public/private keys, the keys would have to be transferred from the original computer to the new computer.
-
If the above does not help, then a new public/private key pair needs to be created and sent to us.
