 How do I encrypt or sign an emacs buffer with PGP?

 I tried C-u M-| pgp -sta and I got the error:

 Enter pass phrase: cannot open tty, using stdin

 Unable to get terminal characteristics: ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device

 Also:

 I would like to know how to sign, encrypt in text format with mailcrypt.
 The standard mailcrypt-encrypt does pgp -st and I need pgp -sta. 

 Finally, I would like to know how strong crypt++ package is and what
 algorithms it uses. 

 Thanks a lot

 Ilya
