You would store the key(s) on disk- just like the OP. Usually this is done in the PGP keyring.
Who's key you would use depend on who you're encrypting the file to & who you are signing it as. Basically, PGP was made specifically for this use case. I can use PGP to encrypt a file to Jack (using Jack's public key) and sign it with my own private key so that Jack knows for certain that I sent him the file and nobody in between made any changes to it. I don't know if ruby has PGP bindings or not, but you can always fall back to system().
