I have a command to encrypt (codecrypt) files like this example:

ccr -aer john -R file.txt > file.txt.ccr

I'd like to do a loop with several files, so I came up with this:

for a in *.txt; do ccr -aer john -R "$a" > "$a".ccr; done

I'd like to know how can I do the same approach using find, and if there is any performance advantage between find and for.

I would think that the for loop would be faster as find will not only look for files in the current directory but recurse any sub-directories. And for is a built-in shell command, where find is a separate program.
