Some cryptographers? It seems to me that this article gives all the latest and greatest a free pass and nitpicks on PGP.
If PGP is criticized because a user could cc someone, how about taking a screenshot from your messenger conversation?
People do this reflexively and upload almost anything.
Why would I trust a phone (tracking device) in the first place?
- btilly 6y agoI have yet to run across a cryptographer that I trust whose opinion differs significantly. But I have no trouble finding ones that I trust who agree with the key parts of that rant. For example https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/12/giving_up_on_pg.html https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/12/giving_up_on_..., https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2014/08/13/whats-matter-with-pgp/ https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2014/08/13/whats-ma..., https://dev.to/artis3n/encrypting-files-in-a-post-pgp-age-59bf https://dev.to/artis3n/encrypting-files-in-a-post-pgp-age-59... and many, many more. Whether or not you can trust your phone doesn't change that PGP is missing nearly 30 years of what we've learned about best practices for encryption.
