Sounds like that is something that would be not off the shelf. tcplay
will do like truecrypt does on Windows and Linux (fully truecrypt
compatible), but I think command line only, which sounds adequate. But
if you mount a crypt (making it available to that user/unencrypted),
then ordinarily all sessions of that user would have the crypt
available.

Sure.

What's the theory where what you are asking actually makes sense/ is useful?

I'm not grokking how what you ask is useful.

Please do tell us why you like OpenSSL as your preference?

What size folders would you be encrypting with this library?

What is the security purpose for decrypting a folder on only one login
of a user? Some clarity might help us help you.

Thanks
