I'm currently working on PGP support entirely within Squeak. I've
implemented keyring parsing, DSA signature checking and basic Triple-DES
encryption. CAST5 will follow soon since that's the default algorithm in
PGP 6, which I use. It's currently all loose ends, and I have not yet
successfully encrypted/decrypted anything with it, but I could at least
verify the (non-RSA) signatures on my keyring.
Stay tuned.

Of course it's much easier to link to a plugin, but some platforms
probably will have difficulties with it, therefore I'm favoring the
all-Squeak way (with optional plugin support for performance).

Cheers,
Hans-Martin
