+Org-crypt will encrypt the text of an entry, but not the headline, or
+properties. Org-crypt uses the Emacs EasyPG library to encrypt and decrypt
+files.
+
+Any text below a headline that has a @samp{:crypt:} tag will be
+automatically be encrypted when the file is saved. If you want to use a
+different tag just customize the @code{org-crypt-tag-matcher} setting.
+
+To use org-crypt it is suggested that you have the following in your
+@file{.emacs}:
+
+@example
+(require 'org-crypt)
+(org-crypt-use-before-save-magic)
+(setq org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance (quote ("crypt")))
+;; GPG key to use for encryption
+;; Either the Key ID or set to nil to use symmetric encryption.
+(setq org-crypt-key nil)
+@end example
+
+Excluding the crypt tag from inheritance prevents already encrypted text
+being encrypted again.
