Would require implementing the PGP/GPG/OpenPGP algorithm from scratch in ABAP.

Also keys would have to be stored in the database, which raises some security concerns. Suggest DES encrypting the keys(or other symmetric-key encryption algorithm, AES?).

agree. We might be able to use it like signing emails with SMIME

I think you add signing certificates to the STRUST address book first and then you can use the email for signing.

Just an idea but I don't have time to play with this at the moment
