The agent-driven nature of PGP, along with the encoding itself (which was primarily meant for emails) adds a lot of complexity, and makes it much harder to setup, configure, and use safely compared to other tools.
It is a tool trying to securely manage keys in an insecure environment, and even offloading some parts (such as to a yubikey) doesn't make it any easier to use.
- zikduruqe 4y ago> compared to other tools Genuinely curious as to what other tools. I don't find PGP terribly too complex to setup or manage. > It is a tool trying to securely manage keys in an insecure environment I mean, yea. Isn't that every encryption tool on someone's local machine?
