I'm a little confused.

For encryption, let's assume you mean public-key encryption, no
passphrase is needed. For symmetric encryption, it is stored in
(secure[if available]) memory.

GPGME would be a good start. It helps you with handling of the data
and the passphrase. But I suggest to read some general documentation
about GPG interprocess communication and the status-fd/command-fd
interface.
