<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>
