I would like to store a GitHub personal access token in a file called
~/.authinfo.gpg so that the token is not stored unencrypted on my
computer. This file would be used by Emacs to talk to GitHub via its API.
Recent versions of Emacs (>= 23.x) offer EasyPG ("epa-mode") which handles
GnuPG encrypted files easily. That might be a good place to start looking
for what you might need. Just try to create /tmp/foo.gpg and save it. You
should be asked for a recipient and/or a key.
Or, if you're using org-mode, you could handle encrypted data there as it
offers to encrypt/decrypt certain regions of .org files:
