Hi All, I was wondering what would be the minimal setup needed to enable the functionality of signing a text body in an html form. I'm writing a simple proof of concept web-based (unhosted : http://unhosted.org) email application for my (also very new) open source project, Sockethub (http://sockethub.org). Sockethub is meant to be a WebSocket-based development platform for sending and receiving messages, and other forms of communication, using simplified JSON objects, leaving the complicated, platform-specific, API to Sockethub to handle. This could be anything from sending and email, or xmpp message, to facebook, twitter... posts, messages, rss subscriptions, etc.
I started to add support for encrypting outgoing emails with PGP on the server side (Sockethub doing the signing for you) but realized this isn't really the way to go, as it doesn't scale to a multi-user environment, and you run into the same privacy problems you'd have with gmail. The signing needs to happen on the client side. So, combining Sockethub and remoteStorage (http://remotestorage.io - another project I've been heavily involved with) I hope to generate some interest in developing a completely unhosted email web-app that supports client side PGP, via remoteStorage or the local client-side filesystem, using Sockethub as a delivery agent. If I could cobble together a demo email app, using Sockethub, remoteStorage and OpenPGP.js, I think that would be very very cool Anyone intersted in helping? :) Thanks in advance for any help! -Nick http://sockethub.org _______________________________________________ http://openpgpjs.org
