The trick would be to encrypt the files in such a way that you could completely decrypt the files in active memory, without using up any more of the flash drive's limited lifespan... hmm...


That would be a nice trick....oh wait, that's how it actually works. Decrypting files does not write anything to the filesystem, it all happens in volatile memory.
