Creating a keystore and the first key

When running the program for the first time you have to create the first key and put it into the keystore. To do this use the stepwise instructions provided in the "Key Creation Wizard ".

To start the "Key Creation Wizard", click on  "Create a keystore" in the bottom right-hand corner of the "Login" page. After that, you'll be guided to take the 6 steps to create a keystore. Guidelines and step-by-step instructions will accompany each step. A detailed description of each step is given below:

1. Key Name
   
   You should choose the name for the first key that will be created along with the keystore. You won't be able to change this name later. The maximum length of the key name is limited to 16 characters.
   
   
2. Data Generation
   
   The key will have some internal data used by the encryption algorithm AES 256. On this page you should draw an image or choose a pre-existing image that will be randomly transformed and used as the basis for key's internal data. It's important to point out that a second key with the same image will be absolutely different. You may prefer not to paint an image but to choose the "Generate automatically" option and then the computer will generate a random image.
   
   
3. Enter Passwords
   
   You should supply passwords to protect the keystore from intruders. To get access to the keys in the keystore, you should open the keystore. The only way to do it is to supply the passwords. The approximate level of password difficulty is reflected on this page - the higher the level, the more difficult it will be for intruders to use brute force in gaining passwords.
   While supplying passwords, remember that:The password may contain only Latin characters, numbers and symbolsThe maximum length of the password is 20 charactersPasswords are case sensitive, so "My password" and  "my password" are different.
   
   
4. Keystore type
   
   At this stage you should choose the type of the file to place the keystore into. The following types are available:
   
   - Image file (BMP)
   - Image file (JPEG)
   - Audio file (MP3)
   - Audio file (WAVE)
   - Simple file (KS)
   
   For safety reasons, it's recommended to create a keystore in a sound or image file.
   
   
5. Keystore file
   
   You should choose the type of file to use as a keystore. If on the previous stage you have chosen an image or sound file type for a keystore, you have must now specify the existing file to "hide" the keystore in. If a simple file has been chosen, specify the folder to put it into.
   
   
6. Completion
   
   The last stage, it's not necessary to take any steps.
   
   We don't recommend that you use your name, birthday, telephone numbers, addresses, or city names, your Internet nickname or any other easy password. A strong password should contain no less than 10 characters, include digit numbers and symbols in upper and lower case.
