Since you are only encrypting in place and not transferring the documents to another individual, there is probably no need to use public-key encryption. Any tool that does AES-128 or the like would suffice.
On Mac OS X, I have the ability to use an encrypted disk image in which to store various documents, but I'm not aware of any editors that do explicit encryption/decryption as part of their read/write functions.

Hello all,I want to have a text file with personal data in it, which I encrypt to myself, and decrypt to view and edit. However, to do that securely, I need an editor which will not leak the text in any way, so locking it's pages in memory so they won't be swapped out, and other angles of attack. In short, an editor written with security in mind, suitable for editing sensitive data. It's okay if it does that on plaintext files, I suppose, I can encrypt and wipe the original to get rid of that, or do I miss something there?My workstation runs Windows, but I think I would prefer a tool that works under Linux too (possibly under Cygwin in Windows). It would be cool if it integrated with GnuPG so I don't have to manually en- and decrypt, but it'snot a demand unless, like I said, I missed some vector of attack. Does anybody know an editor that's up to the job? Regards, Peter Lebbing.
