Is it possible to use a symmetric cipher with org-crypt.el? I'd really like to encrypt certain outlines and encode/decode them on several machines without worrying about managing public/private keys.

I can see how using public key crypto might be benefecial when sharing files between several parties, but for the case where a single user simply wants to synchronise org files between various machines (and never store/transmit sensitive data unencrypted) then a symmetric cipher seems preferable due to its lower overhead.

Has anyone done this?

Not that I know o, but I think, starting with org-crypt this should be relatively straight forward.

There must be someone else around here who can take on this task, right?
