To be clear, OpenPGP does not correct errors. You still end up with corrupted data. It is just that you get back all your good data, no matter where it is in the file.
- tptacek 5y agoSo you're saying that not only does OpenPGP release unauthenticated plaintext to callers, but it doesn't even implement the feature that takes advantage of it. Good note. What's crazy about this is that you can get error correction without using insecure 1990s cryptography, simply by forward error correcting your ciphertext. I'm really having a hard time even getting my head around the argument you've managed to devise here.
