Because you are already acustomed to ssh? I personaly use GPG. However, GPG looks complex and the ergonomics of GnuPG cli is horrible.

I personaly use GPG. However, GPG looks complex and the ergonomics of GnuPG cli is horrible.
- megous 4y agoSo use some GUI? CLI ergonomic around working with ssh keys and ssh certificates is not great either. And GPG/PGP at least has some standards around key distribution, web of trust, subkeys, etc.
- donatj 4y agoI use GPG Suite on Mac and even then the ergonomics are confusing. GPG/PGP is just kind of confusing for us not deeply into cryptography.
- megous 4y agoI looked up the screenshots. The app looks like the most trivial possible UI for basic public key cryptography. Just a basic list of your/other people's keys (pretty much a contact list) and some ways to acquire them. SSH keys if used in place of GPG would have almost the same UI. It's not the problem of GPG, but of the underlying concepts. You don't need to be deep into cryptography, just understand some basic concepts from the wikipedia article, or whatnot.
