I'm running on Win32, and although there are lots of SSH clients out there, not much has been done for servers. I'm more interested in basing an application-level communication system on it, than in supporting the actual sshd features, so that should be simpler.

I thought Perl could be a good starting point to tinkering, especially since btrott's OpenPGP is available. So, perhaps his client is a good place to start, since the actual transport is the same in both directions.

As for distributing the crypto, encrypt it using OpenPGP and post the key too. Only someone who already has access to that technology can read it. Or does that assume the feds can think logically...?
