OTR has had forward secrecy for 21 years. The effin headline stated PGP was a faulty model https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1029179.1029200 https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1029179.1029200
Why implement something PGP-like, without forward secrecy, 13 years later, beats my understanding. I mean, 13 years is also the time difference between OTR and PGP. I guess some devs don't read cornerstone papers of the field they supposedly specialize in :)
- pepa65 1y agoYes, I think the deltachat people should have gone with a different (still open source of course) encryption method that supports forward secrecy, and not try to be compatible with encrypted emailing. You can still use the email server/client infrastructure, but don't try to serve "normal" emails on the same system, and don't allow normal email providers to take part.
