=== Sharing the private key === | |||
This topic is not easy. I think, it should also be optional at all. In some | |||
cases it may helpful and a nice feature, and in other cases it won't work at | |||
all. | |||
Sharing the private key is required to support multi devices. | |||
Lot of non technical person moved to an "smartphone only mode". There are a lot | |||
of people which are using IM / Mail only on the smartphone. For those people, | |||
there is no need to share the private key. It would be included in the backup. | |||

won't to care about key management. For those people the sharing of private key | |||
on PEP is a very nice feature. | |||
For people using Smartcard / Token, it don't make sense to share the key. The | |||
