Do encrypted files have a "type" so that something like:

Or some such? Or do any of you have something to make sure
creating/reading/writing/ vim encrypted files are as secure as
possible?
Maybe some of these precautions are already the default (anyone?).
Either way, you could condition your settings on the presence of an
encryption key, e.g.:
aug SecureEm
au!
au BufReadPre,BufRead * if strlen(&key) | se nobk nowb vi= | endif
aug END
strlen(&key) reports '5' when a key is in use (so, encryption is being
used).
It surprised me slightly that the length of the key was given, but it's
not actually the key length. It's the length of the replacement display
string: '*****'.
