Hi Jochen,
Thank you so much for your reply.
I have two questions:

1- How do you give keys to a large number of clients? Suppose there are 1000 
employees in a company, do all employees have to go to the IT department of 
that company to get the client keys?

2- Is it possible to send a new key to clients automatically when client key is 
revoked?
