4. In Advanced Settings, choose RSA algorithm:

5. After the key pair has been generated - right-click on it and run two commands, one by one.

Save both files anywhere.

6. Open BC Key Manager and run 'Add Existing Public Key' command from 'Key' menu. Point to the public key generated by Kleopatra.

7. Open BCArchive and run the 'Create new archive' command. Choose 'Public key encryption', click 'Browse' and choose the key from the Key Manager database.

8. The archive will be created without asking for a password - add files to it.
