If you cannot trust your sysadmin or fear that the machine might be stolen, that is indeed a problem. Besides, deleted files can be recovered sometimes, e.g. with tools like ext3grep. > Is there a way to pipe the output of `gpg keys.gpg' directly to emacs > somehow like `gpg keys.gpg | emacs'? Since Emacs cannot edit standard input, this will not work. However, there is a better solution: the easypg library allows transparent editing of GPG-encrypted files. :-) It is already part of Emacs 23 (which is not released yet), for Emacs 22 you can just install the easypg package.
