The following code is preliminary, but gets the job done in my simple tests.
Now's the time to beat down on, and refine, the user interface and behavior.

;;; Commentary:
;; Right now this is just a set of functions to play with. It depends on the
;; epg library. Here's how you would use it:
;;
;; 1. To mark an entry for encryption, use `M-x org-set-property' to set the
;;property CRYPTKEY to any address in your public keyring. The text of
;;the entry (but not its properties or headline) will be encrypted for
;;this user. For them to read it, the corresponding secret key must be
;;located in the secret key ring of the account where you try to decrypt
;;it. This makes it possible to leave secure notes that only the intended
;;recipient can read in a shared-org-mode-files scenario.
;;
;; 2. Next, at the top of your org-mode buffer, add this line:
;;
;; -*- mode: org; after-save-hook: (org-encrypt-entries) -*-
;;
;;This ensures that entries marked for encryption are encrypted whenever
;;the file is saved. If you want encryption to be manual, use `M-x
;;org-encrypt-entries'. Note that in this version -- mainly because I
;;don't know epg.el better -- you will be asked for your password for
;;every entry that needs encryption.
;;
;; 3. To later decrypt an entry, use `M-x org-decrypt-entry'. It might be
;;useful to bind this to a key, like C-c C-/. I hope that in the future,
;;C-c C-r can be might overloaded to also decrypt an entry if it's
;;encrypted, since that fits nicely with the meaning of reveal.
