Have a look at crypt++. this is a mode which allows you to
encrypt/decrypt files within emacs. I use it regularly and it works
very reliably. When I use C-x C-f to access an encrypted file, emacs
asks me for the pass phrase and then decrypts the file before
displaying it. When I save the file, emacs automatically encrypts it
again. 

I think you can find more infor about crypt++ at www.emacswiki.org
