I've been thinking though some of the problems with cryptography. I have a question. How do we protect the image?

Usually, the local machine is to be assumed secure (Trusted Computing Base). If someone subverts my machine, anything can happen from capturing keystrokes to advanced subliminal channel analysis.

Which doesn't mean that you should do your best to minimize these effects - for example, I've been thinking of using methodwrappers or Aspect/S or similar to tag methods as "crypto methods", meaning which would trigger behaviour like on exit, all temps are erased (recursively?) before they are gc'd.
