Emacs reads files off the disk all the time, I donʼt see why this
would be any more suspicious.

You donʼt keep any such information there, but other people do, and
'surfing the internet' doesnʼt count as trivial these days. My browser
reads a list of passwords all the time without every asking me anything.
Anyway, since the epa file handler does not react well to you
cancelling decryption, and thereʼs no way that I can see to tell it to
not pop up that failure buffer, the only recourse I see is for you to
customize 'network-stream-use-client-certificates' to nil.
