How about adding support for pgp specifically gnupg to encrypt and decrypt
arbitrary data.

If anyone is interested in support for A. M. Kuchling's PyCrypto library
(

issue 996

Python now supports PyCrypto and Java supports javax.crypt.

Is there a need for gnupg as well?

Yes that would be nice :-)

Seconded. GnuPG would be essential.

PyCrypto has lots of issues. It is very incomplete. E.g., as far as I know it does
not implement any standardized padding schemes for public key crypto. Instead it uses
home-made formatting. For serious cryptographic applications a more mature
cryptographic library would be essential.

Yes, gnupg would make a good addition.

I had written an article on difference between encryption and decryption in which I had discussed the key point of their difference so must give it a check and give a feedback on it.
