  Description : Small utility for storing sensitive data

 Gringotts is a small utility that allows you to jot down sensitive data 
 (passwords, credit card numbers, PINs, friends' addresses) in an 
 easy-to-read, easy-to-access, and most of all very secure form. 
.
 For encryptions, Gringotts makes use of the MCrypt and MHash libs
 by Nikos Mavroyanopoulos, two really powerful and easy to use C
 libraries; moreover, it uses GTK+ 2 for the interface.

very secure is a bold statement.  Have you reviewed the architecture
of this tool yourself to ensure that it's secure?  The vast majority of
security management tools are horribly insecure, so making this claim
without proof would be bad for our users.
