GPG without any local files? (Gerben Wierda)

[Leigh S. Jones]

Have you considered a "RAM disk" approach to this?  A buffer in
RAM memory is mounted and addressed in a fashion similar to a
drive partition.  A directory in the "RAM disk" becomes the home
directory.  Command-line options handle the details.
