I believe that this is what the crypt++.el package does.
You can get it by ftp from ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/misc/crypt++.el.
The most recent version is 2.89 I believe (May 2001).
It's my understanding, though, that emacs 20 has inbuilt support for a
lot of the features provided by this package. I've not used them,
though,
