8 Encryption

One may wish to keep private, encrypted files. Org-roam supports encryption (via GPG), which can be enabled for all new files by setting ‘org-roam-encrypt-files’ to ‘t’. When enabled, new files are created with the ‘.org.gpg’ extension and decryption are handled automatically by EasyPG.

Note that Emacs will prompt for a password for encrypted files during cache updates if it requires reading the encrypted file. To reduce the number of password prompts, you may wish to cache the password.
