Blame the Linux desktops for not having a single, sane standard like the MacOS
KeyChain that provides a nice, independent mechanism for storing these with
whatever security policy you prefer. ;)
More seriously, apply regular Unix permissions to the file, so that it is only
readable to you. (Better, apply that to your whole home directory.)
By the time someone can obtain read access to it you have almost certainly
already lost the fight to keep your data secure, since they either have root,
or have access to your UID, and so can do much nastier things.
