What's the encryption flow?

2013-09-27 Thread Jon Debonis
Is there a document or diagram that explains how encryption happens? This is what I assume from http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/c173.html rand_key = GenerateRandomKey(bits) rand_key_e = E_pk(rand_key) cypher_text = E_rand_key(plain_text) unsigned_message = headers + rand_key_e + cypher_text
