With Emacs the best way IMHO to do it is use GnuPG/epg directly. You do it by
simply naming a new file with an additional .gpg extension after the
real one (.org in our case). So simply

C-x C-f password-table.org.gpg RET

and choose yourself as the recipient of the ciphertext

There are two main advantage of this solution

1. you can access the table without running emacs (with an ssh client on
your mobile?) by simply runnig

gpg < password-table.org

on the command line.

2. Emacs runs gnupg completely seamlessly (if you run gpg-agent which
caches the passphrases)
