Many thanks on all the pointers and interest.
Although I was planning on sneaking around making more progress before
letting the cat out the bag, I guess it is time to expose it for some open
criticism.
This is just a plan so far, no code yet. Although until the ability to
safely split encryption code across nodes, it will have to have a central
(or group of trusted) servers, rather than fully distributed.
You will probably all point out many obvious pit-falls, if you do please
also offer suggestions ;)
I have thought of several ways of getting the job done, but I am sure there
are better.
Apologies to those I emailed a blank file to, I managed to wipe a
significant amount of work, and have replaced it with something really
tacked together.
If I am stepping to hard on any patents, or too close to any other 'business
model' etc... A polite nudge is much better than a law suit. Thanks.
http://pktp.sourceforge.net has a description of how I imagine it working.
I hope that explains exactly why I was making my enquiry.
Again many thanks for the many pointers.
cya, Andrew...
