Yes, you are on the right track. The EasyPG Assistant ("epa") is the
"Emacs user interface to GNU Privacy Guard". You can use it to decrypt
and encrypt things in Emacs (files, for example).
You need to set it up so that you have access to your keys. Try
to get the stuff in the manual work, like encrypting files:
(info "(epa) Top")
The second step would be your Gnus setup. Start here:
(info "(gnus) Signing and encrypting")
Something like `mml-secure-message-sign-encrypt' (<menu-bar>
<attachments> <Sign and Encrypt Message> or C-c RET C-e) should work
then.
It's also possible to automatize encryption (so that you don't need to
invoke it manually every time).
But this is all not completely trivial, it is necessary that you
understand the underlying mechanisms.
