+QtKeychain
+==========
+
+QtKeychain is a Qt API to securely write and read passwords. The passwords are stored in the platform's keychain service.
+In case there is no such service available, QtKeychain will report an error. It will not store any data unencrypted.
+
+Currently, the following platforms are supported:
+
+Mac OS X
+--------
+
+Passwords are stored in the OS X Keychain.
+
+Linux (and other Unixes)
+------------------------
+
+If running, KWallet (via D-Bus) is used.
+Support for the GNOME Keyring via freedesktop.org's 
+[Secret Storage D-Bus specification](http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/secret-storage-spec "Secret Storage specification") is planned but not yet implemented.
+
+Windows
+-------
+
+Windows does not provide secure storage. QtKeychain uses the Windows API function [CryptProtectData](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa380261%28v=vs.85%29.aspx "CryptProtectData function") to encrypt the password with the user's logon credentials.
+The encrypted data is then persisted via QSettings.
