There is `tramp-handle-insert-file-contents'. Since this is used for
several Tramp backends, we need a check, whether Tramp encryption is
active. Something like

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(when (tramp-crypt-file-name-p filename)
   ...)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

OTOH, this would expose the "tramp-crypt-" namespace to tramp.el. Hmm,
maybe I will adapt the solution, but you could start with this.

Best regards, Michael.
