Delete key


You can delete selected key and selected certificate from card.

After a key is deleted, each e-mail message encrypted by this key will be unreadable. Without this key, it is impossible to decrypt them. This option should be used with care.
After this option is activated, program makes sure that user really wants to delete the key - if so, it deletes the key from the card. At the same time the certificate is deleted from the card (if it is on the card).

Option is available only in expert mode if the key selected in the information tree is not the public key of the certification authority. Card manager can't delete a certificate authority's public key from the card.
