Can the app, on install, create automatically an encryption key that 
only exists on the app? Then send the public part to the server, so that 
any client can download the public key of anyone they want to message.

All clients would do the same.

The private key, only exists on the client.

Just as PGP in email, but automatic. Would that work?
