  1. Together with @hko I have worked on the "File Hierarchy for the Verification of OS Artifacts" (#VOA) in 2024 and 2025.

    This #STF ( @sovtechfund ) funded #specification and #ReferenceImplementation (🦀) enables technology and distribution agnostic verification of OS artifacts.

    In this #blog post we are looking into the #verification of #ArchLinux artifacts, using the `voa` #CLI and its #OpenPGP backend:

  2. Together with @hko @j-g00da, @orhun and @Nukesor I have been working on the #ALPM and #VOA projects in 2024 and 2025.

    This #SovereignTechFund ( @sovtechfund ) funded work has recently come to a close.

    You can read all about what was achieved and plans for future work on the #ArchLinux #devblog: devblog.archlinux.page/2026/a-

  3. A new version of the #VOA #CLI and #library is out! 🎉 🦀 📦⌨️

    crates.io/crates/voa/0.2.0

    In this version we add the `voa list` and `voa verify` subcommands for listing of verifiers and verification of #OS #artifacts.

    With it, we introduced experimental #OpenPGP support.

  4. A new version of the #OpenPGP backend for #VOA is out. 🎉 🦀 📦

    crates.io/crates/voa-openpgp/0

    In version 0.2.0 we have added the first experimental support for the verification of #OS artifacts.

  5. We have just released version 0.3.0 of the #VOA core library. 🥳 🦀 📦

    crates.io/crates/voa-core/0.3.0

    In this release we have reduced the use of runtime dependencies and started exposing more functionality for consumers of this library.

  6. Today we released the first version of the #VOA library and #CLI. 🥳 🦀 📦⌨️

    crates.io/crates/voa/0.1.0

    This initial version is only able to import cryptographic verifiers for now.

    In an upcoming version we plan to provide the first, simple #OpenPGP #signature #verification support. 🔏

  7. Today we have also created the first release of voa-openpgp, a #RustLang library for the use of #OpenPGP verifiers in #VOA hierarchies. 📦 🦀

    crates.io/crates/voa-openpgp/0

    In this first release we have focused on the use case of importing #OpenPGP certificates to a #VOA hierarchy.

    As a special treat, this enables direct import of #ArchLinux keyring structures.

    Many thanks to @hko @Nukesor and @orhun for the thorough reviews 🎉

  8. Version 0.2.0 of voa-core, a #RustLang library for access to verifiers in #VOA hierarchies has just been released. 🦀 🥳

    crates.io/crates/voa-core/0.2.0

    In this version we have improved our handling of identifiers with the help of #winnow parsers.
    In addition we have added a #trait for generic writing of verifiers to VOA hierarchies.

    See the #changelog for further information:

  9. We have just released the first version of voa-core, a #RustLang library for access to verifiers in #VOA structures. 🎁 🦀

    crates.io/crates/voa-core/0.1.0

    VOA, short for "File Hierarchy for the Verification of OS Artifacts", is a way of providing and using verifiers for digital signatures in a stateless manner, for various cryptographic technologies:

    Thanks to @hko for his work on this and an upcoming #OpenPGP backend! 🥳

    "A hard-right, Trump-supporting US news network that perpetuated conspiracy theories about the 2020 election will provide news coverage for Voice of America (VoA), the Trump administration said."

    JFC! I'm sure they will be paid generously. I am so tired. 😩

    "One America News will now provide news and video to government-funded organization."

  11. David Seide, senior counsel for the #GovernmentAccountabilityProject, which is representing plaintiffs in litigation against the #Trump admin, called the announcement “shocking & illegal” & said it will be challenged in court.

    Last year, #OAN settled a #defamation lawsuit w/ #Smartmatic, the #voting tech company, over its coverage of the #2020election & promotion of the #BigLie.

  12. #KariLake’s announcement was met w/outrage from #VoiceOfAmerica staff, who pointed to #OAN’s #FarRight views, promotion of #ConspiracyTheories & support of #Trump.

    “VOA is not to be the voice of left America nor the voice of right America,” said Steve Herman @w7voa, chief national correspondent for #VOA.
    
“#USAGM cannot dictate [that] VOA run OAN content. It would be a violation of our fire wall & our charter, which are #laws,” he said.
