Re: [Mailman-Developers] GSOC Project idea: OpenPGP integration

Although there might be a place for the use of OpenPGP for identification of users to the WebUI, such a project would not, in itself, be sufficiently complex for a GSoC project. If you are interested in such an effort, it would need to be combined with other (preferably related) aspects of authentication such as identification of submitted email messages.

Hi all,
I made a small list1 of deliverable for this project and required changes in mailman for it. Can you all please review it and comment on how can it be improved.
Also there are two points that I am not able to think on,
When a message is decrypted and then passed on between the queues, it creates a security threat for the cleartext message is being held in memory, even for a small time in between the runners.
Which one is the best standard to be implemented for encryption/signing of the email?
Thanks
