Hi
I'm looking for a way to easily encrypt and decrypt a text file. It should do the following:
- On open, ask for the passphrase and decrypt the document - Display the document plain text, allow edits - On save, automatically encrypt the document, but leave the unencrypted doc open.
I'd use this to store passwords.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!
André

This would require implicitly invoked import/export code, which TM does not support.
One popular option for sensitive files is to store them on an encrypted disk image.

I use 1Passwd (anything in the browser) and Yojimbo (anything else) nowadays for it and a hardcopy of the most important stuff stored outside the apartment ;)

how about use the AES encrypt/decrypt Text bundle actions, and bind the encrypt action to cmd-S for a certain type of text-files (let's say with .sec extension)? Not as automatic, but I guess you could modify the commands a bit and have the AES decryption module store the password in a temporary global variable, and have the encryption command triggered by cmd-S use that password...
So u open the .sec file, hit a key combination to decrypt it, and when u save it (using cmd-S) it encrypts using the same pass, saves, and u have to decrypt it again before using it (could also use the same pass if it exists..?)
That's as smooth as I can get it, at least in theory... maybe someone cares to elaborate a bit? Keeping a plain text file would be easier than managing an encrypted disk image, but I'm not sure how easily the global variable could be accessed...

The disk image solution is far too slow. And the problem with 1Passwd and Yojimbo is: two tools. A while ago I have written a short shell script which does this job I described. I can, of course, use mate instead of vim to edit it, but that's not really what I'd wish.
Thanks for the replies

I have a couple of commands that I've setup for encrypting/decrypting emails with GPG. With a bit of tweaking I'm sure you could get them to play nicely with plain text (the main difference is that they currently quote the text with '>' characters so that it's ready to send a reply).
They're fairly similar to the AES encryption commands, that I ripped off when I started writing them. I bound them to Ctrl-Shift-Cmd-P.
Should I post them to the list?
Sure, you should :)
