            Bug ID: 122073
           Summary: Secure pdf output format that can be sent via EMAIL to
                    medical/banking institutions
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: cogoman at zoho.com

Create a new format ".PDFPK" that is in every other respect a normal PDF
document, but encrypted with a public key. Also have Libreoffice generate and
manage public key / private key pairs.

Mortgage company generates a key pair and releases public key on their web
site. Users can then generate a document and encrypt it with their public key
as a .PDFPK .  Then it can be sent via regular EMAIL securely, and the bank is
the only entity that can turn it into a regular .PDF .

I don't know if this will be a solution that's quantum hard,

but this may be a chance to make Libreoffice the leading edge, making M$ play
catch up.
