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 protect the passphrase for your secret key so there is a possibility 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.
