Even if you shc it that doesn't prevent people from, say, copying it to a different machine without your permission, somewhere they can control what shell is used so as to extract the contents.

Yes, but --

Encryption does not work that way.

But what if --

Encryption does not work that way.

Maybe if it --

Encryption does not work that way.

To prevent people from reading your scripts/passwords, chmod.

To prevent people getting access to something which reads the scripts/passwords, sudo.

To prevent root from getting at it... You're out of luck.

NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port] sieveshell --help DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress. The following commands are recognized: list list scripts on server. put <filename> upload script to server. get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout delete <name> delete script. activate <name> activate script. deactivate deactivate all scripts. OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials. -a authname, --authname=authname The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user). -r realm, --realm=realm The realm to attempt authentication in. -e script, --exec=script Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
