You can only decrypt file with your secret keys wich where encrypted with=
 your=20
private keys. When the file was encrypted with the public key from the ot=
her=20
source then you have no chance to decrypt it. Or you must get hold of the=

other secret key.

A Mantra is a password for the secret keys. You are asked for when you=20
generate your key-pair.
