<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 encryption methods should not be used. Once you have
selected the appropriate encryption protocolls, 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>
