I will look at it, we have played with this idea at work too...

I hope you know that doing a single 1024 Bit RSA encryption operation will 
take many milliseconds on embedded hardware. According to my measurements you 
can do ~70 encryptions per second on a Nokia N810 (which has a 400 Mhz CPU) 
and ~200 decryptions.

Unless you plan to use desktop CPUs you will be limited to very small 
networks...
