You're sure you want to have something _public_ in your
home directory?

Depends on how the files are created. A possibility is to
set umask prior to creating files, and resetting it to its
previous value when being done. If files are created
automatically, this could be done by a shell script. Such
a script could also be used to "copy to secure directory",
performing the cp and the chmod step.

However, is there any problem _for your particular case_
that setting secret/ to rwx/-/- only, and leaving the
files inside with the default umask rw/r/r?

Maybe there really is a more elegant way.
