How would you like it to work? I'd like to see this. Right now I'm using ccrypt (http://ccrypt.sourceforge.net/) with the accompanying emacs package jka-compr-ccrypt. My set-up is definitely workable, but it would be nice to have something integrated within emacs. As for how I'd like it to work, I'd like more or less what John W describes -- encryption and decryption by a keystroke or short series of keystrokes. I'd like to be prompted twice for a password or pass phrase the first time I encrypt a file, and then to be asked for a password or pass phrase when I open an encrypted file. I'd like it to remember that password (assuming it's encrypted) so that I don't have to re-enter it when I re-save an encrypted file. Of course, I'm largely ignorant of how encryption works -- the FAQ on the ccrypt page addresses some of the concerns knowledgeable people have. So I don't know how easy/hard it is to do these things. -- John Rakestraw
