It only works on binary ".pgp" public-key encrypted files (not ascii armored files). So there would be some work needed to make it a really useful tool.

I just tried adding random characters at the end of a pgp ascii armoured message. I had to cut out the checksum, but pgp was able to decrypt the message just fine. So a very simple program (ideally with a strong source of random numbers) should be able to pad ascii armoured files.
Probably can calculate a new checksum too... or binary PGP, add junk and mime/uu/xx-encode....? Rob
