IRLid — Proof-of-Personhood Without Biometrics: A Protocol Writeup

scry for thurin labs is probably the most niche thing I've ever built: social identity proofs for #ethereum degens who are also PGP #encryption enjoyers.

but I tell ya what, it's the most fun I've ever had building something and I'm super proud of it.

launching a LOT of new features this coming week

Scry — Thurin Identity Explorer

Explore and verify the Thurin identity graph. Look up Ethereum addresses, ENS names, and GPG fingerprints. Verify identity claims and email ownership client-side.

Quick question for the infosec community: what email encryption standard do you recommend in 2026?

I have been comparing X25519 (Curve25519) vs RSA for key exchange. X25519 is ~500x faster for key generation with 32-byte keys vs 256+ for RSA.

Anyone using ECIES pattern (X25519 + HKDF + AES-256-GCM) in production?

As someone in infosec, how do you handle your personal email?

I got tired of Gmail reading everything, so I built a self-hosted
alternative with:
- X25519 + AES-256-GCM encryption
- Postfix/Dovecot on a French VPS
- SPF/DKIM/DMARC + fail2ban
- An AI cockpit that classifies urgent vs noise

Curious what setups other infosec people use. ProtonMail?
Self-hosted? Something else?
