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

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...
