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.

There are file systems out there that support encryption. However, beyond a certain point, it becomes pointless, because all encryption algorithms are of finite complexity (because, somewhere, at least one person had to be able to work it out in his or her head).

(Great, just what I need, another programming idea to distract me during exams week.)
