Besides the fact that hating on PGP is like hating on TLS. It's a spec and a container for just about anything you want to do. gnupg (the thing most people have come to dislike) isn't even spec compliant anymore and was always a power user tool not something most users should actually touch anyway
- Avamander 1y agoNah, hating on PGP is like hating on SSLv3. The specs are bad, the entire system is very error-prone, and the cryptography itself is also outdated.
- singpolyma3 1y agoI somehow agree with your analogy and not your conclusion? SSLv3 is what gave us TLS1.3 The OpenPGP crypto can never be "outdated" because it is constantly being updated.

The last time people tried that it created a huge drama. > The OpenPGP crypto can never be "outdated" because it is constantly being updated. Yet it hasn't been, it's not there in the implementations, it's not there in the defaults.
