Many thanks on all the pointers and interest. Although I was planning on sneaking around making more progress before letting the cat out the bag, I guess it is time to expose it for some open criticism.
This is just a plan so far, no code yet. Although until the ability to safely split encryption code across nodes, it will have to have a central (or group of trusted) servers, rather than fully distributed. You will probably all point out many obvious pit-falls, if you do please also offer suggestions ;) I have thought of several ways of getting the job done, but I am sure there are better. Apologies to those I emailed a blank file to, I managed to wipe a significant amount of work, and have replaced it with something really tacked together. If I am stepping to hard on any patents, or too close to any other 'business model' etc... A polite nudge is much better than a law suit. Thanks. http://pktp.sourceforge.net has a description of how I imagine it working. I hope that explains exactly why I was making my enquiry. Again many thanks for the many pointers. cya, Andrew...
