Good luck with it. From the name it figures that you're gonna use the
PGP as the engine.
As an aside, several years ago... I knew people who used
'crypto-phones'...all they did was time-slicing and basic simple scrambling.
They sliced up the conversation into 1/100ths of a second and
regurgitated it at the other end. A friend of mine could listen to the
'encoded' output and tell you exactly what they were saying...in real
time :>
I guess PGP should be better (or 1/10000 sec time slices :> )
just for interest.
