Error with SimpleSecure

[Weihan Leow]

Sorry, I mean to say encrypt with my public key on the server.  When it
gets emailed to me, I'll then decrypt it with my secret key.  What I want
to know is if theres any problem with leaving my secret key on the shared
server (where hundreds of people use it).
