Hi Rick, I don't think anyone has done this, but I would certainly welcome someone taking up org-crypt.el, adding different options like you suggest. I'd be happy to work out the UI, but I do not know anything about encryption or Emacs packages supporting it. - Carsten
Thanks Carsten, I know a tiny bit about encryption, but I'm no guru. I took a quick look at easypg which org-crypt appears to use, and being a frontend to GnuPG it seems to support the use of symetric keys.
I'm convinced that it should be a trivial job, but I'm not familiar enough with any of the packages to know precisely what needs done.
If I find some more time, in the next few weeks, I might take another look. R.

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?
