I'm new to org-crypt, but I was able to make it work last week. First, I
created a PGP key using seahorse (not required, but make thinks easier).

Then I put the code below in my .emacs file
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'org-crypt)
(org-crypt-use-before-save-magic) ; Encrypts everything with the crypt tag
                                  ; when the buffer is saved
(setq org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance (quote ("crypt")))
(setq org-crypt-key "XXXXXXXX")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
where the XXXXXXXX is the ID of my PGP key in seahorse. With this all
headings with the tag crypt will be encrypted when the file is saved.

If I want to see the content I run the command org-decrypt-entry (or
org-decrypt-entries to decrypt all headings in the file). When I save the
file again everything will be encrypted.

I'm only asked for the password of my PGP key when I want to decrypt a
heading. If you do don't want to create a PGP key then I think you will
need to set a property in the heading with the crypt key and org will ask
you for a password to encrypt the heading.
