Please see the beginning of the file. Let me know if you have ideas or suggestions. In the context of Gnus, encrypt.el is a very nice way to keep all your passwords and login info locked under one decryption password, usually that means your ~/.authinfo. I've been using encrypt.el in Gnus for a while with GnuPG, and it works fine. Those that know GnuPG well will probably have ideas on improving--using the private key instead of a password, etc. The idea for encrypt.el is to let the user choose from any number of methods, so if you have suggestions for additional encryption/decryption models, please let me know.
