Basically, what happens is there are two keys. One Public that everybody ca=
n=20
use, this is the one you import to read signatures as well as encrypt a=20
message to the owner of the key.

The other key is private, it belongs to you. This key is the one that has t=
he=20
capability to sign an email or decrypt an encrypted message sent to you, as=
=20
long as the message was encrypted using your public key.

Simon Singh wrote an interesting book called "The Code Book" that walks you=
=20
through all sorts of codes and encryption techniques as well as the=20
decryption techniques. He has a couple of excellent chapters that explain=20
exactly how modern RSA encryption works. I would suggest giving it a read.
