Please help with testing a new
#Thunderbird #Security feature: Unobtrusive Signatures, a novel mechanism for digitally signing email, currently implemented for #OpenPGP.

It avoids the unexpected signature attachments that are shown by non-supporting email clients for emails that used the traditional signing format, and that were frequently confusing recipients. With this new mechanism, it should be fine to sign all emails.

More details here:

We’re preparing to launch native OpenPGP support in eclipso Mail Europe.

Our web interface is already in the final testing stage, and we’re now looking for experienced users who actively use PGP and would like to help us refine the implementation.

Please note: Our mobile apps (iOS/Android) are still in development and will join later.

If you’re interested in joining the web beta, feel free to reply or send us a DM.

I did submit 3 new ports for inclusion in FreeBSD 🙂 

Let's see how this goes ..

openpgp-card-tools: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=293960

openpgp-card-tools-git: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=293961

Exciting news. I've just pushed a collection of ports for the #OpenPGP Card ecosystem to Codeberg.

Includes:
- openpgp-card-tools (oct)
- openpgp-card-tools-git (oct-git)
- openpgp-card-ssh-agent

I'm currently polishing them for official submission to the freebsd ports tree this April!

A huge thank you to @hko for these excellent #Rust tools!

The openpgp-card-state crate now has a new "ephemeral" backend:

https://codeberg.org/openpgp-card/state/#ephemeral-interactive-input-with-persistence-and-expiry

This combines the defensiveness of unpersisted pinentry with the convenience of caching (in the Linux kernel credential store, for a configurable duration).

New releases of https://crates.io/crates/openpgp-card-tool-git, https://crates.io/crates/openpgp-card-ssh-agent, https://crates.io/crates/rsop-oct support this new #OpenPGP card PIN storage backend.

Many thanks to @classabbyamp who implemented this new PIN handling mechanism in openpgp-card-state.

I use a Stateless OpenPGP implementation in a few of my hobby programs. The SOP interface is nice to use programmatically, but there's always details to get right. To make this easier for myself, I've started working on a Rust library for this. I'm trying to make use of the Rust type system so that it's impossible to invoke a SOP implementation in the wrong way.

Might be useful for others?

Keine 30 Jahre und schon komme ich jetzt ich mit #OpenPGP Schlüsseln ganz gut zurecht.

The https://freepg.org/ project maintains patches against #GnuPG with the goal of closer adherence to the IETF #OpenPGP spec.

One currently open question is if/how draft-ietf-openpgp-pqc support could be realistically added to #FreePG

I've started https://codeberg.org/freepg/freepg-draft-ietf-openpgp-pqc first of all as a notes-to-self repo for a (presumably very slow and long-term) side quest to explore this problem.

Specifically, the goal would be adding support for v4 ML-KEM-768+X25519 subkeys.
