That's why I said "as the RIAA has"

In the case of a minor property crime it'll take more time and money than a $400 tablet is worth to go that route.

PROGRESS REPORT- I've successfully compiled a full version of GnuPG and GPGme in scratchbox. (osso-gnupg is fairly useless) In order to actually get them onto the tablet I'll have to build an empty osso-gnupg package with no deps or conflicts, then install gnupg and gpgme, then build another osso-gnupg which depends on gnupg instead of conflicting with it and install that. I should be done with that this afternoon. (Really that's only necessary for the device though. I've already got them installed in scratchbox.)

Then Ive got to actually learn the gpgme lib as I've never used it

But things are progressing faster than I'd thought as most of what I need *is* available in libraries.

The other thing I was thinking is if we're going to use the full GnuPG on the device, we can generate the key there and tell the user to copy it off of the tablet. Then, if recovery is needed only the signing of the request message needs to be done in the browser/java-script code...
