6. The Web Vault client locally decrypts the Send using the encryption key.
{% callout success %}If your send is [password-protected]({{site.baseurl}}/article/send-privacy/#send-passwords), decryption of the Send will be **blocked by authentication**. The server validates the password and only returns the Send if the password is correct. This should not be confused with the password being used for decryption.{% endcallout %}
## Send Security
When transmitting a Bitwarden Send link, there are optional steps you can take for additional security:
1. Add a password to the Send and share the password via a separate channel.
2. Send the link without the key (everything before the last forward slash) and send the key via a separate channel.
3. Leverage both of the above options.
{%callout success%}
When reassembling a Send URL, be sure to include both the Send ID and the encryption key.
Example: `https://vault.bitwarden.com/#/send/send_id/encryption_key`
