  • Use gpgme to encrypt/decrypt and some library for Message/CPIM (MIME?) generation/parsing
  • UI for selecting a key to use for decryption
  • Autoimport of public keys directly to GnuPG keyring with public key publish IQ requests

Pidgin (UI):

  • onLoad: warn once that the SSL tunnel is needed (link to howto wiki page)
  • manual private key selection (GnuPG autoselects it based on encrypted content)
  • request public key on demand
  • security status?

Purple:

  • parse pubkey extension in presence and store fingerprints somewhere
  • send IQ requests for public keys when not found or fingerprint changes
  • parse IQ replies and store keys directly to GnuPG keyring
  • generate CPIM content and encrypt messages
  • decrypt messages
  • parse CPIM content
  • parse attachments
  • request public key if missing from GnuPG keyring
  • rename users using the key UID name
  • security status?
