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