> with keys that are in memory on the same system

I'm not sure that actually holds — the encryption keys are in memory, but the decryption keys don't necessarily have to be.

The pre-encrypted payloads definitely are in memory at some point; however snatching them probably involves larger-scale reverse-engineering.

If they're using standard TLS, the actual data encryption is symmetric, so the encryption keys are the decryption keys and must be in memory during the encryption process.
