The developers are generally agreed that we are NOT interested in this.

  (b) although I will probably
manage to code the open and save routines, I'm not sure I will not get
stuck somewhere, in which case it will either remain as an unfinished
project, or I will need some help from somebody more experienced.

I think we would help you if you get stuck, but I would recommend
instead that security/encryption should be done by a tool that is
designed to do security/encryption, and GnuCash should remain its own
core competency:  accounting.

Your thoughts?
Yes I have some thoughts. Would it not be far better to simply provide instructions for how to install, set up, and use software that provides for an encrypted partition/disk? Or rather, refer people to a site offering such software and our part of it just how to arrange that (once the encrypted disk, partition, directory, exists) the gnucash data would be stored there.

That would not deal with the "while in RAM" but would address the logs not being encrypted since these are created in the same directory the main data file is in.
