This also lead me to question: is there example of any encryption/decryption filter in Iostreams?
Not yet.
There are quite many of them in C++, each using their own conventions and it may happen someone will normalize them to be useable within Iostreams.
I thought of writing wrappers for the crypto++ library, which I have used successfully before. However, the library's documentation is terrible. Also it is large, takes a long time to build and provides it's own chaining mechanism, so I'm not sure how useful wrappers would be.
If you know of some links to fairly self-contained implementations of cryptographic algorithms, could you post them?
Maybe something small as ROT13 could be used as starting example. /Pavel
