AFAIK, the key ID is only needed for encryption. The encrypted text will contain a pointer to the key needed for decryption. Therefore, I suggest that we do this: - Have a defcustom for the default key ID to use (I think it will be very common that you'll use the same key to encrypt everything) - Allow overriding the key ID in an inheritable property (if you need to encrypt a heading using a different key than the default) - Use a tag matcher to specify headings to encrypt (another defcustom that will be used to find headings that should be encrypted before-save) - Encrypt everything under the heading, including properties (even if the property has the key ID, it won't be needed for decryption, so the entire contents can be encrypted) Am I missing anything? > I'd very much like to see this improved and stabilized, so that we can > include this with Org, this would be valuable to have.

I had a private conversation with John, and he's completely open to me putting the finishing touches on org-crypt and getting it included in the org distribution. Are there any org-crypt users out there that want to throw in their $0.02? -- Peter Jones, http://pmade.com pmade inc.
