    Set the appropriate user & group permission on the file itself (on the OS level) rather than encrypting a file. It is more efficient and from security perspective - the better solution Commented Aug 22, 2017 at 7:53

Asking a password when opening a file doesn't make much sense, it will take another program to do that, watching the file and intercepting the request at os level..

What you need to do is protect the file using ACL, setting the proper access rights to only desired users&groups.

Yes! "another program to do that, watching the file and intercepting the request at os level.." I want that only. It is helpful to integrate with my project
