As a follow up, as there is no internet connection involved in the encryption or decryption of files would I be correct that if my Public Sharing Key fell into the wrong hands I would in fact need to:

Decrypt every single file I had / Reset (not just change) my password / Then re-encrypt every file all over again to ensure the original public key no longer worked in the future?

If true, a public key seems far less secure than a password protected zipped file, as one public key is the equivalent of tens of thousands of individual passwords.

Thank you for your help.
