Last week, @lwn published an article about the recent tenth OpenPGP email summit, co-written by @andrewg, @dvzrv and me.
As of today, the article is public for non-subscribers:

It contains a high-level overview of some recent developments in the #OpenPGP ecosystem, including PQC migrations, the new "unobtrusive signatures" draft for ubiquitous email signing, the Autocrypt v2 draft for ratcheting encryption key rotation, and more.

Create Your Own PicoKey - Nought

> TLDR For just 60 RMB, get an RP2350 development board, flash it with the PicoKey firmware, and you can create your own open-source hardware security key to use as a budget YubiKey.
It supports FIDO2 login and OpenPGP, but the hardware login and encryption functions cannot be used simultaneously.
The steps are simple: buy the board β download the firmware β hold the BOOT button while plugging it into your computer to flash the firmware β initialize via the web config page β done.
Perfect for cheapskates (like me) who donβt want to spend hundreds on a YubiKey but still want to play with hardware keys.

Good news! The HKP draft has been adopted by the IETF #OpenPGP Working Group, the first official step towards publication as an RFC π€©
It is now known as draft-IETF-openpgp-hkp, which replaces draft-gallagher-openpgp-hkp, which itself replaced draft-shaw-openpgp-hkp.
It has been a long couple of decades π

This document specifies a series of conventions to implement an OpenPGP keyserver using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). As this document is a codification and extension of a protocol that is already in wide use, strict attention is paid to backward compatibility with these existing implementations.
Playing around with Sequoia-PGP again. And it just strikes me how easy it makes it. This time I played with sqop instead of sq.

Try doing that gpg without needing any $HOME/.gnupg directory. And then try putting that in a script run by some locked-down user via a cron job.
(I know this should be signed as well, not dug into that yet.)
