KMyMoney has the ability to encrypt your data using GPG.
-Besides using your own key for encryption, KMyMoney supports the
-ability to encrypt your data with a recover key only available to the
-core developers.
-
-This key will have no effect if you always have access to
-your own key, but if you lose your key or the passphrase for
-it, the KMyMoney recover key comes in handy as now the core
-developers can help you to recover your financial data. The only
-thing you have to do upfront is to encrypt your data with the
-recover key. If you don't do that, There is nothing we can do to help you.
-
-For the second time I received an email with a request for help to decrypt a
-KMyMoney data encrypted with GPG where the user has lost his/her
-GPG-Key(ring). Unfortunately, in both cases KMyMoney's recover key feature had not been
-used and I could not recover the data. If I had the ability to help in these cases (without the recover key) it would mean that I can successfully break any GPG encryption. Trust me, this is not the case.
-
-The only thing that allows me to help a user in this situation is the
-KMyMoney recover key. Using this feature, you encrypt your data with your
-key and the recover key. In case you lose yours, you can send me the
-file and I can use the secret part of the recover key pair to decrypt it.
-I will ask you some questions about the contents of the file to make sure
-that the person who sends me the file is the legal owner of the file. You
-will also have to provide me with your new (public) key, which I will use
-to encrypt the file to send it back to you. This way, your data is never
-travelling the internet in readable form.
-
-BTW: I encrypt my data using my own key (the same I use to sign all my
-e-mails) and the recover key just for this purpose. I have stored a
-printed copy of the recover key as well as a CD containing it in a safe at
-my bank. This way, I can always reconstruct it and it is not getting lost.
-
-Now, don't ever tell me you have not used the recover key feature ... you
-have been warned.
-
-
Import the key into your GPG keyring before you can use it - inside KMyMoney. Select encryption against this key in the - Security settings dialog. Save your data. That's it.
