There are some GnuPG environments which meet this goal.  I
have a Win32
GnuPG here which fits in 396,288 bytes--enough to put a
rather
substantial keyring on the floppy, too.

Besides, floppies are anachronistic, at least in the United
States and
most of Europe.  Of all the machines I have, both personally
and in
various labs around campus, none have floppy drives.  USB
dongles are
far more widely supported.

Unzip GnuPG to a directory and go.  Presto.

I'm going to need to see evidence to back this one up.  I'm
pretty sure
"Hello, World!" is more heavily peer reviewed. 
Or, in a more serious
vein, McCarthy's LISP 1.5 is probably more peer reviewed, as
is AT&T
UNIX (thanks to the Lions Book).

these attributes?

Probably not.  But GnuPG can.
