I took the freedom to remove your post from the completely
unrelated thread that you budded it into ...

I wouldn't use crypt.
Look at gpg, an encrypting program with strong encryption based on public/private key cryptography.

It might be better to investigate tools such as gpg...

... and now I took the freedom to merge your newly created
post on the same topic with the original one ...

You don't really need two of these.
