Who is going to pay for the design and estimation efforts? There are many approaches that can be used but before selecting one over another it is important to perform a threat analysis to determine which risks the solution must protect against and what the use cases are. For any estimate to be reasonable there will need to a work break down of the implementation tasks. It would not be unreasonable for such a design analysis and work break down to cost $10,000. An implementation that could be used by banks or government agencies would easily cost hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars and take a year or more. Jeffrey Altman
