A Overview Of Open PGP
Marcus AdamsI've finished my testing of #AGE vs. #GPG #encryption and published the results here:

@wiktor You asked to be kept abreast, here's the post.
It's Friday so I finally got time to sit down and do some of these benchmarks for comparing #GPG and #AGE for #encryption speed. Here's the results so far on an uncompressed .tar file, and an already compressed .tar.zst file. Gonna try to add SequoiaPGP to the list, if I can figure out how to do symmetric/password encryption with it.
So it seems that at least part of the slow-down I experienced with #GPG is because, by default, it gzip compresses the encrypted files. This can be disabled in the command line if you're encrypting an already compressed archive for pretty substantial improvements in encrypt/decrypt speeds. AGE was still faster, but nearly as much.
On a large zst (38.9 GB) archive of my Documents folder, here's some encrypt times.
AGE: 0:28
GPG (w/ compression): 8:12
GPG (w/o compression): 1:19

I guess I'm ditching GPG signing for regular work emails from now on

Katzenmann / CatpersonWell after that I looked at PGP and it seems like it does not yet support pq-secure key exchanges. Bummer.
So then I looked at this cool new thing AGE which apparently is the new kid on the block for encryption. They do support pq-security but when looking at their repo I saw that they started using AI for coding which makes me not want to trust it with encryption.
So I think moving forward I'm switching to #AGE for file #encryption instead of #PGP. I occasionally make backup archives of various things and use passphrase encryption with #GPG to encrypt them before storing them. However, GPG is very slow for bigger files, and in some testing recently I discovered AGE is multiple times faster. Also, with their latest release they now support hybrid post #quantum assymmetric key pairs. So for encryption it can fully replace GPG.
