New CryptoProvider: PGP KeyRing

[imaeses]

Hi, I would like to add a new crypto provider to K-9. The app is called "PGP KeyRing" and provides signing and encryption services.
thanks,
Adam

I don't like this patch. I don't like the fact that we have special code to support APG either. But at least APG is open source.
Ideally someone would implement a real interface third-party applications could use to provide crypto services. Modifying K-9 to support every possible app out there is not an option.

As we were also thinking about integrating our app into k9mail, there is further discussion needed. I opened a bug report: http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/detail?id=5629

Hi Dominik,

I really like your ideas. Let me chew on them for a bit before I respond in full.

I was rather disappointed by the reaction to the pull request. On the other hand, I didn't really make my case. Originally, I wanted to code against some set of "open intents". You suggest as much in your bug report. But there are problems around user interaction and security as you also point out. So I didn't pursue the matter.

Adam
