Lots of people will tell you to use PGP. However since PGP is not *free*, in that you cannot use it for commercial purposes without a license, I avoid it. Also it has to be downloaded and installed as most systems do not include it because of it's non-free open source status.
The best alternative I found is OpenSSL. Yes it does key management, creation, encryption, decryption and even SMIME EMAIL! That's right you can even send encrypted emails with it. Try 'man smime' on a linux system for the email portion. Also, 'man rsautl' for just encryption and decryption of an arbitrary string.

I need a function that encodes stuff, with a key. It, of course, needs to be decodable too.
