I have been asked to help a small group of individuals (perhaps hundreds, not thousands) with secure data exchange (including, but not restricted to e-mail).
Use of full gpg is way beyond their capabilities. I am wondering if anybody has heard of a simplified version of gpg; or failing that, I would like to hear any comments on the feasibility of a collaborative project to create such a variant, as I am convinced there would have to be a wider applicability of it. The following describes the requirements: 1) The program is CLI and operates on (i.e., it encrypts and decrypts) binary files. It has no connection with any mail client program or server or mail service and provides no key management functionality whatsoever. 2) Once encrypted with a (single!) recipients public key, the file consists of bytes indistinguishable from a random stream. 3) The program can be run from removable media, i.e., it requires no installation and assumes no network access for either key exchange or in operation. There are binaries for all three major platforms (Win32, Linux and Mac OSX). 4) Single key, public or private, resides in a single file. This file is encrypted with operator's public key and consists of bytes indistinguishable from a random byte stream. 5) Public key includes a textual description, but no unique identification other than the hash of the key. TIA, Peter M. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
