#Question:

Uses @thunderbird@mastodon.online Web Key Directorys (#WKD) for fetching #PgP keys?

Last year, the @sovtechfund fund invited us, the Sequoia PGP Project, to join their new Bug Resilience Program.

Today, I'm pleased to announce that we are publicly launching our bug bounty program with rewards of up to €10,000 for novel, security-relevant issues in Sequoia applications, libraries, or specifications. #pgp

In the past few weeks, I spent a bit of time on a set of #OpenPGP hobby projects around #rpgp (https://github.com/rpgp/rpgp/). Today I'm happy to announce:

rsop v0.1.0 (https://crates.io/crates/rsop), an early stage "stateless OpenPGP" tool based on rpgp.

Relatedly, I also released rpgpie 🦀️🔐🥧 v0.0.1 (https://crates.io/crates/rpgpie), an experimental high level OpenPGP API based on rpgp (rsop is built on top of rpgpie).

Thunderbird is an email client with built-in support for PGP encryption.

Messages are encrypted/decrypted in the client and remain encrypted on email servers, this is client-side encryption.

Some email providers support PGP encryption server-side, this method could be vulnerable to third-party decryption of emails.

Having decidedly too much fun playing with ancient #PGP artifacts.

Note the two version 2 public keys from 1992. They were created just over a year after Phil Zimmermann first released PGP (on 6 June 1991), deep in the crypto war era.

These keys predate the #OpenPGP name by around half a decade.

At over 31 years old, nation-state actors can definitely factor John Gilmore's RSA 1024 key today.
However, I believe the cost still exceeds a hobbyist budget even now.

LibreOffice supports symmetric and asymmetric encryption for OpenDocument Format (ODF) files.

Symmetric encryption: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric-key_algorithm
Asymmetric encryption: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

Select File > Save/Save As

The "Save with password" option encrypts the file with AES-256.
The "Encrypt with GPG key" option encrypts the file with a public key.
