I use epg to encrypt the org-mode files. EPG expects the files to have a suffix
of .gpg, which conflicts with the .org suffix - however, I circumvent this with
a file local mode setting as the first line in my org files:
# -*- mode: org; epa-file-encrypt-to: ("<my private key email ID here>"); coding: utf-8-unix; -*-
This allows the file's major mode to be Org-mode.
In addition, the archive files are also encrypted, and hence an over-ride is
needed for the file name (otherwise the defaults will conflict):
I have ...
#+ARCHIVE: ~/org/<filename>.org_archive.gpg::
In my active Org files - which works fine for the archival process, and ensures
that the archives are also encrypted.
The other epg settings you need are:
(require 'epa-setup) ;; In your .emacs file
and of course the correct SSH settings and the key setup externally.
This configuration works great on both OS X and Windows XP (Home and work for
me).
For Windows, I had to override the epa-gpg-program name to point to the cygwin version:
(setq epg-gpg-program "/cygwin/bin/gpg.exe") ;; For Windows.
HTH,
