There is a program called crypt which comes with FreeBSD which provides
basic single-rotor encryption, which is fine for casual use but can be
decrypted via bigram/trigram analysis easily by someone who knows what
they are doing. If you want strong encryption, look towards GnuPG from
security/gnupg, or possibly towards OpenPGP or even the commercial variant.
