Unfortunately it is not like PGP keyring, because with the reset
password you can boot the encrypted PC using "help" as a login and the
reset password get from the plaintext Securityinfo.dat file. So it is
enough to have this file to gain access to the machine. Moreover you
can't be safe even if you keep this file well protected, because it can
be regenerated if a user manages to access your pc with administrative
privileges (and it sounds to me like a security vulnerability).
