Key Generation - Generation

On the Key Generation - Generation page the computer will generate your key files. This can take several minutes, depending on the chosen key length and the processor speed of the computer.

During the key generation phase an animation of random bits is displayed. When the process is ready, the Next button is ungrayed and you can proceed to the next phase by clicking it.
