The proper newsgroup for this question is sci.crypt. Data security is a complex and difficult problem, and you are likely to fail in the worst possible way: implementing something that is weak but that you believe to be strong. Some advice: (1) Use off-the-shelf products like PGP or GPG; don't write your own. (2) Read Bruce Schneier's Applied Cryptography to get a feeling for the dimensions of the problem. (3) Start by composing a clear statement of what you need, avoiding vague terms like "security". If you don't know where you're going, you can't tell whether you've arrived. -- To email me, substitute nowhere->spamcop, invalid->net. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
