  2. Aufgrund der schwerwiegenden Sicherheitslücken die unter gpg.fail aufgeführt sind, habe ich mich heute gezwungen gesehen eine Warnung vor GnuPG in meinem Tutorial anzubringen.

    Als wirklich langjähriger Nutzer von GnuPG und aktiver Don Quichotte für Email-Verschlüsselung und -Authentizität finde ich das eine sehr betrübliche Situation.

    Nach Alternativen für meine Toolchain schaue ich mich gerade um. Erster Kandidat ist #sequoia (sequoia-pgp.org/). Und auf den ersten Blick bin ich schon mal davon erfreut, dass ich dort DANE direkt unterstützt sehe.

    Kann jemand andere OpenPGP-Werkzeuge empfehlen? Und warum?

  4. @jan once details are published, and #39c3 is over, well take another look. But note that #deltachat's usage of #openpgp is intentionally minimal. #Gpgfail is a lot about failures of signature verification, and parsing problems in the gpg c-implementation but #deltachat doesn't use these mechanisms or code at all. The @rpgp folks are still studying the details, and there might be issues, so maybe also follow them for more details. Again, this doesn't affect deltachat as things stand.

  5. Relax 😎! GPG is not OpenPGP!

    Yesterday, vulnerabilities were published gpg.fail but they don't affect #deltachat or other #chatmail clients because

    A) We never used #gnupg for anything; we use the modern #rustlang #openpgp implementation @rpgp, security audited multiple times.

    B) #openpgp is fine, as modernized in #RFC9580, which already warns against several #gpgfail issues (gpg didn't implement that spec)

    Please spread the word that #gpg is not #openpgp ... Thanks! #39c3

  6. The #39c3 #gpgfail VOD is now live!

    Truly insane to have so many exploits, and that there are several wontfix

  7. A lot of us have have been complaining about GnuPG for years but gpg.fail/ takes no prisoners on all sides🔥
