Two way to encrypt your content or files:
1. Encrypt by password in VIM
Just enter:
:set key=<password>
when you editing the file, then the file will be encrypted.
When opening the encrypted file, you will be asked to input the password.
If you want to convert a encrypted file to be a plain file, you should set the <password> to be empty.
2. Encrypt files by mcrypt in UBUNTU:
Install mcrypt:
sudo apt-get install mycrypt
Encrypt a file with password:
mcrypt -a blowfish test.txt
You will get a file named
test.txt.nc
Decrypt the .nc file
mycrypt -d test.txt.nc
