Re: Encrypted notepad software suggestions

You can encrypt text files simply using tools in the base system.

EXAMPLES

Edit, encrypt, and erase:

$ vi file.txt
$ openssl aes-256-cbc -a -iter 100000 -in file.txt -out file.txt.enc
$ rm -P file.txt

Restore, and edit:

$ openssl aes-256-cbc -d -a -iter 100000 -in file.txt.enc -out file.txt
$ vi file.txt

SEE ALSO
openssl(1), rm(1)
