ccrypt

ccrypt is a utility for encrypting and decrypting files and streams. It was designed as a replacement for the standard unix crypt utility, which is notorious for using a very weak encryption algorithm. ccrypt is based on the Rijndael cipher, which is the U.S. government’s chosen candidate for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES, see http://www.nist.gov/aes). This cipher is believed to provide very strong security.

elpa-ps-ccrypt

elpa-ps-ccrypt provides low-level support for reading, writing, and loading files encrypted with ccrypt. It hooks into the low-level file I/O functions (including write-region and insert-file-contents) so that they automatically encrypt or decrypt a file if the file appears to need it (based on the extension of the file name). Packages like Rmail, VM, GNUS, and Info should be able to work with encrypted files without modification.
