RSA (Public-Private Key Asymmetric Cryptography) Plugin
I would like to see an asymmetric cryptography plugin. It should do basically what PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) does.

All I want is the ability to encode and decode a string/file, using the public private key method.

Here the definition of what I'm talking about for those who don't know: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/P/publ...ptography.html

Here's the math: http://world.std.com/~franl/crypto/rsa-guts.html

Here's something that looks like it'd be most of the code if you were to do this in C:

This would be an extremely useful plugin. Thanks for any feedback. ^_^
