Encrypt/Decrypt a Text File

OpenSSL is on every Mac and lots of Unix distros. Nothing to install. Super easy. Super secure. 

This is the basic command to encrypt a file:

openssl aes-256-cbc -a -salt -in secrets.txt -out secrets.txt.enc

Decrypt-

openssl aes-256-cbc -d -a -in secrets.txt.enc -out secrets.txt.new

There’s a nice tutorial here:
