ok well lets start over sort of. Lets forget what I was talking about
because that has nothing to do with this thing you are talking about.=20
Could you explain your process here step by step, its getting hard to
sift through the message text.
a few points
ssh does not need a passpharase. I use it daily and many use CVS over
ssh without passpharases.
This is only a login technique AFAIK, we are not talking about secure
communication after the login right? thats a separate thing which is
already handled by SSL. Are we also talking about a replacement for
that?
I agree to keep it minimal server side, like with PERL. but I don't
know if the perl libraries exist to talk with gpg yet!? Client side can
use a plugin much like enigmail. An applet could work, but it would
have to be granted special permission to run certain programs on the
client computer. Applet seems a little awkward here. I guess plugin is
the way to go. I hope you can write them in Java...
