I used to use openssl aes-256-cbc, but the problem I have with this is when I try to decrypt in a different version of the distro it fails, as if it depends also on some internal key or something, instead of depending solely on the password. So I have to keep a different encrypted file for each version of the distro, which is annoying and bad.

Any suggestions?

    $\begingroup$ @SAIPeregrinus I asked the question in SuperUser and it's already closed for being offtopic. You guys are really something special. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ That's why I commented with my recommendation. I figure they might be jerks about it. :( $\endgroup$
