Dat ik al heel lang erg van de #privacy ben, mag bekend zijn. Ik werk ook al heel lang met #PGP en heb daar lang geleden al eens wat laagdrempelige uitleg over geschreven.

Dat "lang geleden" blijkt 30 jaar te zijn, en dank zij @internetarchive is die pagina nog steeds te zien.

Woefdrams Pagina's - informatie over PGP

At #embeddedrecipes 2026 (May 27-28) in Nice (France) there will be another #PGP keysigning session. Help to improve the kernel’s WoT.

He leído por aquí varias veces que el cifrado de #Proton Mail solo funciona con Proton y NO es cierto:

- Proton utiliza #WebKeyDirectory para intentar localizar la clave pública del destinatario. (https://wiki.gnupg.org/WKD). De forma resumida: #WKD comprueba el dominio del destinatario por si tiene una web y esta tiene un directorio ".well-known/openpgpkey".

-- Si encuentra una clave pública que tenga la dirección de correo del destinatario asociada con su identidad, cifra el correo con ella.

- Si tienes un dominio propio pero no apunta a ninguna web, puedes apuntar al servidor de claves públicas de #OpenPGP.
(consulta "wkd as a service" https://keys.openpgp.org/about/usage/).

- Y sí, esto también funciona si usas un cliente de correo electrónico compatible con AutoCrypt. (Mozilla Thunderbird, FairEmail…).

Por estas cosas, pese a que Proton obviamente ha abusado del marketing, voy a seguir recomendándolo al público general.

#PGP

The road to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has been long, but the end is nigh.

For the past nine months we’ve been working on technical debt issues in hockeypuck, resulting in the 2.3.x series of releases. This has included a major postgres schema redesign, in-place reloading, reindexing threads, configurable keyword search, and significant refactoring of hockeypuck’s internals. v2.3.3 is in final testing with the last of these improvements, and will be released soon.

But this is all just prep.

The goal is version 2.4, which will distribute v6 PGP keys, which support post-quantum algorithms for both encryption and signing. 2026 is the year of PQC in PGP, and the hockeypuck keyservers will be ready.

To enable the safe distribution of v6/PQC keys without breaking legacy software, we have developed an updated version of the venerable HKP API (for which HocKeyPuck is named). v1 and v2 HKP will be supported in parallel, but v6/PQC keys will only be distributed over v2.

HKPv2 is specified in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-gallagher-openpgp-hkp and server implementation is underway in https://github.com/hockeypuck/hockeypuck/tree/feature/hkpv2 .

If you maintain PGP client software and wish to be PQC ready, now is the time to check out HKPv2 and what it means for your users. Join the discussion at https://groups.google.com/g/hockeypuck-devel

Hockeypuck v2.4 development is kindly supported by @NGIZero Core.

OpenPGP HTTP Keyserver Protocol

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.

Who Is Satoshi Nakamoto? My Quest to Unmask Bitcoin’s Creator

Bitcoin’s creator has hidden behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto for 17 years. But a trail of clues buried deep in crypto lore led to a 55-year-old computer scientist named Adam Back.

Genau mein Humor: Telefonat mit Büro Mitglied des Parlamentarischen Kontrollgremiums #Niedersachsen

Keiner hat ein #PGP Schlüssel 🤓

Und das Büro mit dem ich telefoniert hatte, beackert auch #Datenschutz

Und das während wir hier dazu noch hybrid von dem Kreigsverbecherschwein #Putin angegriffen werden.

Well 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.

#security #age #gpg #pgp

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.
