encrypting files

Is there a simple way of encrypting files in emacs23?
I gather that emacs23 already has the infrastructure and most of whats
on the wiki is not required (or appropriate) for emacs23

To encrypt files with gpg just do

M-x epa-encrypt-file
or
M-x epa-encrypt-region

If you use the GTK2 GUI of emacs and have the menu bar enabled: Tools
-> Encryption/Decryption.

If you want ascii armored output add the following line to your
~/.emacs:

(setq epa-armor t)

Not needed on 23.x. It's automatically loaded.
