You got some suggestions to rewrite pickling routines.

I have another simple idea: what about leaving zope intact and putting
Data.fs on cryptographic filesystem? There are some implementations
freely available within Linux kernel...

By the way: whichever method to encrypt data you would use, you will
face the same problem:
- either you must manually enter some password after each system or zope
startup 
- or you must put the password (key,seed,.. whatever) somewhere on the
filesystem - where it can be easily read at least by the root.
