Hi, I wonder if there is interest/intention to allow for encrypted .RData

Yes, it is of interest and was sitting on my todo list at
some time. If you want to go ahead and provide code to do it,
that would be terrific. There are other areas where encryption

On 27 Oct 2005, Marc Schwartz uttered the following:
Seems to me that a better option would be to encrypt the full partition
such that (unless you write the files to a non-encrypted partition)
these issues are transparent.
I actually do that on a Mac via an encrypted sparse disk image. But
