       storage.   Data  encryption and digital signature creation
       can easily be performed through a GUI and  Key  Management

WARNINGS
       You should read the GnuPG documentation before using  this
       program since improper use could render it ineffective.

       This is still alpha level software so there may be bugs or
       design problems which could compromise your privacy. I  am
       reasonably  confident  that  encrypting  and signing files
       with seahorse is as secure as using  GnuPG,  however  this
       program  doesn't use setuid or any other technique to pro-
       tect the passphrase for your secret key so there is a pos-
       sibility  that it could be swapped to disk at any time and
       consequently could be read by some one who has  access  to
       your  PC.  This  may  be an unacceptable risk depending on
       your circumstances so it might be  advisable  to  consider
       using GnuPG instead.

BUGS
       There are currently no known bugs.
