Encryption Problem

[David Laplante]

My boss wants me te encrypt a file using PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) I found the .bas module and the dll to use it as well as a demo to help me out...
The thing is that the reason why he wants me to encrypt the file is because that file contains cheque informations that are to be printed by another application. As you have probably guessed it Cheque informations is crucial because it is for a big and i do mean BIG company (wich I have been sworned not to reveal it's name, sorry).

but I figured that if I have to encrypt a file... a file actually have to exist... is there a way to create a file in memory only and pass that to the PGP functions ?

Since the cheques are for large amounts of money... I just can't trust directory permissions to prevent a malicious user to steal the original file...

The use of PGP is not unchangeable... my boss would like PGP but he is open for other methods... any sugestions... the file must never exist in a readable state..
