   <title>Introduction</title>
 
+  <p><app>Passwords and Keys</app> helps you to communicate securely over the
+  Internet and keep your files and data safe. It provides extremely advanced
+  mathematical methods and highly secret keys to protect your files and
+  communication. Some basic terms that you may encounter while reading this
+  help are:</p>
+
+  <terms>
+    <item>
+      <title>Encryption</title>
+       <p>Encryption is the process of making your important files and data
+       unreadable to anyone but the intended recipient. It is done by the
+       sender.</p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <title>Decryption</title>
+       <p>Decryption is the process of retrieving the original text from the
+       encrypted message or file. It is done by the receiver.</p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <title>Plaintext</title>
+       <p>Any data or file that is readable by a recipient or a
+       non-recipient.</p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <title>Key</title>
+       <p>A key is used to encrypt or decrypt your data. For example, if you
+       wish to encrypt your personal messages by substituting every letter in
+       the message with a new letter according to some substitution set you
+       have, the substitution set would be a key because anyone who has the
+       substitution set can decrypt your messages. <app>Passwords and
+       Keys</app> uses highly complex and advanced mathematical means to
+       generate a key so that it is not guessable. Keys can be
+       <link xref="what-diff-private-public">private or public</link>.</p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <title>Keyring</title>
+       <p>A keyring is a collection of all your encryption keys.</p>
+    </item>
+  </terms>
