Extracting encrypted emails, documents or files

When you receive a Kinar message with an encrypted message (or file), the secure information is wrapped in attachments with .kne extension.

Just double-click on the attachment (from within the message or after saving it in a folder). Kinar decryptor will be launched and if the attachment is encrypted, it will decrypt and unwrap the attachment in a folder specified by you or let you view a document from the message itself.

Viewing tamper-proof emails, documents or files

When you receive a Kinar message with a tamper-proof message (or file), the secure information is wrapped in attachments with .knp extension.

Just double-click on the attachment (from within the message or after saving it in a folder). Kinar viewer will be launched and if the attachment is in tamper-proof form, it will decrypt and display the attachment. Note that the viewer will not allow you to copy information from a tamper-proof file nor will it allow you to print it.
