epa-file.el in EasyPG can also do that. Have you looked at it?
I think it is much easier to use since it does not need elisp setup
like encrypt-file-alist.
Yes, EasyPG is a bit complex and invasive. But IMO sometimes
usability should be given priority over simplicity & non-invasiveness.
BTW, I just tried encrypt.el and I encountered a few issues. (1) It
uses gnus-error to report errors so there is a dependency to
gnus-util.el. (2) The instruction says M-x encrypt-file-contents but
there is no such function (perhaps is it a typo of
encrypt-write-file-contents?). (3) encrypt-find-model does not
resolve path names.
