How does it work if A encrypts on local host and B should decrypt on his
local host, with that given link from A

A needs to send/give B the ciphertext somehow, email, snail mail,
somehow, hand signals, ect... ;^) Then B, assuming that A and B have the
same secret key, can use said ciphertext to decrypt it. So, if you
notice the online program has a ciphertext only, without a link prefix.
Say this example: I am encrypting the message on my local host using the
default key:

 But how, for example, would you give me the secret key, from the USA to
Germany, without meeting in person?

Basically, that is outside of the scope of my symmetric cipher. Secure key exchange is something else, another beast so to speak. However, once a key is exchanged, securely, then it can be used for my cipher or any other symmetric cipher? Fair enough?
