DSA is not for encryption, but for electronic signatures, which is another
important part of cryptography.
I've started to implement OpenPGP in Squeak, but I don't yet fully understand
how PGP's encryption mechanisms work. I have working DES, 3DES and CAST5
implementations, though, and OpenPGP keyring and packet parsing classes.
I'll try to bring the stuff into a shape that somebody else can load it and
use it for what it does now later this week.
Cheers,
Hans-Martin
