I have figured it out how to use openssl to encrypt / decrypt file. openssl des3 -in README -out README.des3 The input file is README and output file is README.des3. The README.des3 is the encrypyed file. When you will run this command, it will ask for the password to encrypt the file.
to decrypt the encrpted file. openssl des3 -d -in README.des3 -k yourpassword where yourpassword is the password given at the time of encryption, if you do not give -k yourpassword, it is going to prompt for a password. Thanks again !.

Any special reason for wanting crypt/mcrypt, maybe choose pgp or gpg(?)
