i want to write a text document that is encrypted and saved to a usb drive. but i don't want to save a plaintext version anywhere first. i use SSDs, so with wear-leveling, that plaintext data could be preserved forever, even with use of a secure delete program like
sdelete. i have wingpg installed, and i keep my private keys on a yubikey neo. wingpg doesn't have anything to facilitate this.
seems the best way to accomplish this is with vim.
gnupg.vim
is there no FOSS/Gnu version of
PGP Whole Disk Encryption?
oh cool,
veracrypt supports using keys from a smartcard.

... and let the Earth be silent after ye.
I'm surprised there's no GPG whole disk encryption. There's a utility called TrueCrypt that isn't maintained anymore but still works. They had a couple of forks, veracrypt being one.
As for FOSS on Windows... Idk. :/
