I just saw this on the busybox list, and thought it would be of
interest to you all, since we've heard discussion of this here.
Perhaps someone could help out with this?

Some debian boot-floppies expressed interest in a GPG signature
verifier for busybox. That is my kind of project. Since I happen to be
leaving on vacation today for a few weeks, I may have some time to
think about it. The last time I went on vacation, I wrote a math
parser :). The major stumbling block so far is finding a good bignum
library. GNU bc/dc have one that has a small enough footprint, but it
has poor algorithms. It took it 2:07 to do a modular exponentiation
that libgmp could do in 300ms. So I'm still looking...
