GnuPG server to make remote OpenPGP message

[Alexandre Dulaunoy]

Yes and no. 

Yes, this is a solution for SMTP. 

No, I  was more thinking about  something like a  gnupg application as
server.  When  you can  pass command to  it via  a secure way.   A mix
between the  "emacs-server" like  solution, an OCSP  server and  a pks
server. 

Here is an example : 
		   
		      network
	     --------------------------
[application]-> [SPECIFIC-PROTOCOL] -> [GnuPG-server] 
		auth / ident
		
		(command --encrypt X) 
		
		(command --detach-sign X)
		
		(command x X)


This could be also seen as a GPGME via remote. 

I just  want to know if  the idea is fully  crazy or if  could be done
without major security issue. 

Thanks for any feedback.
