30 ;;; Commentary:
32 ;; Right now this is just a set of functions to play with. It depends
33 ;; on the epg library. Here's how you would use it:
35 ;; 1. To mark an entry for encryption, tag the heading with "crypt".
36 ;; You can change the tag to any complex tag matching string by
37 ;; setting the `org-crypt-tag-matcher' variable.
39 ;; 2. Set the encryption key to use in the `org-crypt-key' variable,
40 ;; or use `M-x org-set-property' to set the property CRYPTKEY to
41 ;; any address in your public keyring. The text of the entry (but
42 ;; not its properties or headline) will be encrypted for this user.
43 ;; For them to read it, the corresponding secret key must be
44 ;; located in the secret key ring of the account where you try to
45 ;; decrypt it. This makes it possible to leave secure notes that
46 ;; only the intended recipient can read in a shared-org-mode-files
47 ;; scenario.
48 ;; If the key is not set, org-crypt will default to symmetric encryption.
50 ;; 3. To later decrypt an entry, use `org-decrypt-entries' or
51 ;; `org-decrypt-entry'. It might be useful to bind this to a key,
52 ;; like C-c C-/. I hope that in the future, C-c C-r can be might
53 ;; overloaded to also decrypt an entry if it's encrypted, since
54 ;; that fits nicely with the meaning of "reveal".
56 ;; 4. To automatically encrypt all necessary entries when saving a
57 ;; file, call `org-crypt-use-before-save-magic' after loading
58 ;; org-crypt.el.
60 ;; TODO:
61 ;; - Allow symmetric encryption as well
63 ;;; Thanks:
