FAQ

Talkey secures e-mail communication, files and folders so that only the creator and the recipient of the message can read/view/open them. Nobody else can get to the communication or computer. However, the way you use e-mail will not change for you. Several extra icons appear in the e-mail client to trigger security processes. Talkey also allows you to encrypt safely copy to USB flash drive, cloud storage, etc. However a potential data robber will not be able to read these files.

When you send an e-mail it leaves in fully open form ( which means it's readable by anyone it meets) to your web hosting (Seznam, Google) and then to the web interface where it passes through other serves up to the server hosting e-mail addressee services. To send an e-mail is very similar to sending postcards. Look at your e-mail communication in recent days and stop by those messages whose content should be seen only by their addressee - wouldn't a registered letter be better to their own hands? Even password protected attach files or encryption enabled on e-mail server is not helpful.

How does it work on the sender's side?
If the sender wants to communicate securely with someone else, he simply writes him an email message.  After he clicks send, Talkey automatically detects if the recipient already has their decryption key. If the key doesn’t exist, a window for entering the recipient's mobile number will pop up. After filling the mobile phone number, Talkey will generate a unique decryption key for the recipient and will send a password in the sms message for reading encrypted messages.

How does it work on the recipient's side?
The recipient can read encrypted messages for free and without the need to install the application. The message will be decrypted in a secure web browser after entering the password from the sms message. For the ability to answer encrypted, recipient need to click the reply button and according to the instructions download the free application Talkey reader.

The Talkey reader user communicates only with the user who has a prepaid version of Talkey. He decrypts the contents by clicking on the .mtm extension. He has the ability to decrypt e-mail messages and then he can respond to those emails by writing encrypted messages.
