There are a limited number of place where a piece of software can leak

Thanks a lot to everyone!

This starts emacs and prompts for passphrase of `keys.pgp'. After entering

Thanks for the inputs so far.
On Axels input I modified the script:
#!/bin/sh
gpg keys.gpg /dev/null
emacs keys
rm keys.gpg
gpg -r user-ID -e keys
srm keys # *secure*rm keys
srm keys~# *secure*rm keys~
Drawback: During the time one works on the list `keys' it is readable
at `/path/to/keys'.

Hi Sämi,

What do you guys think is this approach reasonably secure? I like
the script above because it is rather simple.
