EZ> Are you saying that verification will not need gpg be installed? If my work with libnettle progresses well, I think we'll be able to at least verify GPG signatures without calling out to GnuPG or other tools on all the platforms that have libnettle+libhogweed (any platforms with GnuTLS support AFAIK). I can put up my current patch for review but I still have HMAC, maybe UMAC, and RSA+DSA+ECC crypto to finish. The hashing methods and the ciphers in ECB, CBC, and CTR modes are done with tests. Should I make a Bazaar branch for that work? Is anyone interested in reviewing it? Ted
