Feature request: encryption back-end plugin

Open earonesty opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

There are a number of cryptosystems besides GnuPG. While we could always fork this repo and plug in another, that's both harder to maintain and harder for users to work with.

Maybe the GnuPg part can be abstracted out a bit, and an hookable api for encrypt(eml) decrypt(eml) can be used?

That would require a full rewrite of the plugin. Other crypto systems have patterns that don’t match well, so probably wouldn’t work out well.
