I do think this would be a useful feature. Some properties I'd find
useful:
- Use symmetric encryption
- Be able to recognize if an entry is encrypted

below it
and the subtree, if present
- Support something like a CRYPT tag, leading to automatic encryption
when
the file is saved, to make sure encrypted entries are never saved in
clear
text.
- Use only a single password per file, so once one entry is decrypted,
others will open without an additional password prompt.
Something like this.
Yes, this is just what I'm thinking too, though I'd like the option of
binding
different CRYPT tags to different keys or passwords. So, I could have
WORK_CRYPT, HOME_CRYPT, etc., and each would have its own separate
protection.
This would allow multiple people to have their own private regions
within the
same org-mode file.
Excellent idea, I did not think about this possibility.
I should be able to create an external module for this that does not
affect
org.el at all, but just adds keybindings to org-mode-map and
after-save-hook.
Cool. Please do!
I have tried to read the allout documentation about it and found
it entirely undigestible for the cryptographically uninitiated.
I hope you can explain it better.
