I have been asked to support PGP for a application. the most likely

Could anybody please help me out in knowing how can i write a server
using
unix c/C++.
If there is any document available on internet which can be helpful.
It
would be great if you could
please let me know.
My advice is to not reinvent the wheel unless you need something
substantially different from the two standard keyservers on the net:
1) SKS: http://www.nongnu.org/sks/
Main pro: Syncing with other keyservers
Main con: Client cannot manage keys beyond adding to them (i.e. no
deletes or replacements - you can only add new signatures/subkeys).
2) LDAP: (any LDAP server you have handy)
Main pro: Allows client to completely manage keys (i.e. deletes,
replacements work)
Main con: No syncing with other keyservers
