encrypted files and/or network transmissions.</para>

<warning><para>All encryption schemes are only as strong as their
weakest link.  In general, unless you have some previous
training/knowledge, it is better to leave this module
unchanged.</para></warning>

<para>The options within this module can be divided into two
groups.</para>

<para>Two options along the bottom of the module <guilabel>Warn on
entering SSL Mode</guilabel> and <guilabel>Warn on leaving SSL
mode</guilabel>, allow you to determine if &kde; should inform you when
you enter or leave SSL encryption.</para> 

<para>The remainder of the options are about determining which
encryption methods to use, and which should not be used. Once you have
selected the appropriate encryption protocols, simply click
<guibutton>Apply</guibutton> to commit your changes.</para>

<tip><para>Only make changes to this module if specific information
about the strength or weakness of a particular encryption method is
given to you from <emphasis>a reliable source</emphasis>.</para></tip>
