DESCRIPTION

Seahorse  is  a  GNOME  application for managing encryption keys.  sea
horse-tool allows you to encrypt, decrypt or sign files.  It  is  inte‐
grated  into  the  nautilus right-click menu, but can also be used from
the command line.

When you right click a file in Nautilus you have the option to 'Encrypt'
the file. When clicked this will open a Seahorse key "Choose Recipients"
key window.

You'll also find it in Applications|Accessories|Passwords and Encryption
Keys.
