 Libgcrypt uses a concept known as secure memory, which is a region of
 memory set aside for storing sensitive data.  Because such memory is a
-scare resource, it needs to be setup in advanced to a fixed size.

 Further, most operating systems have special requirements on how that
 secure memory can be used.  For example, it might be required to install
 an application as ``setuid(root)'' to allow allocating such memory.
