[jira] Created: (JAMES-525) Add support for signing/decrypt messages with openPGP

Add support for signing/decrypt messages with openPGP
-----------------------------------------------------

         Key: JAMES-525
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-525
     Project: James
        Type: New Feature

    Reporter: Norman Maurer


Maybe we could add suport for signing/decrypting messages with openPGP. There seems to be a java implemention for that.

[jira] Commented: (JAMES-525) Add support for signing/decrypt messages with openPGP

---------------------------------------------

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-596 has been opened for an implementation.

I've started to look at creating an implementation. Anyone who's interested in helping out would be very welcome to lend a hand. Drop a note to the mailing list or add a comment.

There are big advantages in factoring out a common interface for the OpenPGP work. This would allow adapters to be created for the major openpgp implementations including propritary crypto layers interfaced to custom hardware (a reasonably likely scenario for an email server). I plan to use Bouncy Castle for the initial implementation.

This was the aim of http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/openpgp/ . Development of commons-openpgp has stalled for now. I would like to kickstart it again when I free up sometime since there is a definite need for a common API. Alternatively, someone could start a JCP...

I would like this feature, since I receive PGP mail and I won't to install the buggy plug-in that is available for my MUA.  So having the server deal with it would be good.

------------------------------------

BouncyCastle can handle PGP as well as S/MIME. So why introduce a new dependancy.
