Here is the setup I have that worked when I tried it last ;) ;; encryption (require 'epa-file) (unless (memq epa-file-handler file-name-handler-alist) (epa-file-enable)) (require 'org-crypt) (org-crypt-use-before-save-magic) (setq org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance (quote ("crypt"))) ;; GPG key to use for encryption ;; Either the Key ID or set to nil to use symmetric encryption. (setq org-crypt-key "some-key") Peter Davis writes: > I'd like to store information in an org page that gets automatically > encrypted when I save it, and decrypted when I open it.
