- From my work:

wtruitt@sun1464$ cd /tmp
wtruitt@sun1464$ cat > hello
simple message
wtruitt@sun1464$ gpg -ea -r walter.truitt@usa.alcatel.com hello
wtruitt@sun1464$ ls hel*
hello      hello.asc
wtruitt@sun1464$ more hello.asc

Please wait, entropy is being gathered. Do some work if it would
keep you from getting bored, because it will improve the quality
