+  <p>Though it is very important to keep your keys safe, it can become quite
+  tedious to do so when you have many keys. <app>Passwords and Keys</app>
+  provides a simple solution to key safety by using <em>subkeys</em> for
+  signing and encryption.</p>
 
-  <p>Short introductory text...</p>
+  <p>Whenever you create a new public encryption key, a <em>keypair</em> is
+  generated instead of a single key. This keypair consists of a main key, also
+  called the <em>master key</em>, which can only sign, and a <em>subkey</em>
+  for encryption and decryption. Additional subkeys can be created for signing.
+  Each subkey is bound to the master key that created it.</p>

+       <p>The <em>master key</em> is used for
+       <link xref="key-signing">signing</link> other keys, creating subkeys
+       and <link xref="key-disabling">revoking</link> subkeys. Your master key
+       must be kept very safe.  If the master key is compromised, you have no
+       choice but to revoke it and all the subkeys attached to it.</p>

+      <item>
+       <p>The default <em>subkey</em> is used for encryption and decryption
+       of messages. Additional subkeys can be created for signing. Though it
+       is important that your subkeys are kept safe, you can always revoke a
+       subkey if it is compromised and create a new one with the original
+       master key.</p>
