 I would be very interested in answers on this.  Now   ** signing **
 is built into machine-independent i.e.: provided on every machine
 libraries; but has anyone got this for  ** encryption ** ?

 At worst it might have to be native code, e.g. taken from the gnuPG
 libraries for each machine.  Unless anyone knows better.


 I must admit I'm not exactly sure on whose machine the Applet is
 running (surely the user's), on whose machine the Application is
 running (?),  and where you think the eavesdropping will take place.
