Try this:
Code:
cd /path/to/files
for file in *; do 
   mv "$file" "$(echo $file | sed 's/ //')"; 
done
## do your encryption which will rename your files from whatever.txt to whatever_encrypted.txt
## now to rename the files back to their original names
for file in *; do 
   ext=${file#*\.}; 
   mv $file ${file%_*}.${ext}; 
done

Check the Paramter Expansion section of the bash man page for the explanation.
