GnuPG 1.4.15 released
- lelf 13y agoAnd GnuPG 2.0.22 — http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2013q4/000333.html http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2013q4/00033...
- InTheSwiss 13y agoI know GnuPG-2 is preferred over GnuPG-1 now but I only see 1.x binaries available for Windows. Do they provide official 2.x binaries as well?
- lstamour 13y agoUnder binaries, they link to GPG4Win. Other Windows front-ends: http://www.gnupg.org/related_software/frontends.html#win http://www.gnupg.org/related_software/frontends.html#win I suspect GnuPG only officially distributes source code now, which is slightly safer to use for obvious reasons. :)
- InTheSwiss 13y agoYeah I saw it was provided in GPG4Win but I was hoping they provided a barebones installer for 2.x like they do for 1.x guess they don't. I might drop Werner a note and ask.
- m_ram 13y agoYou can get 1.x installers for the command-line tools from ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/
- chimeracoder 13y agoAnybody have any idea on when we'll be able to use elliptic curve encryption with GPG? According to tptacek, that's in the works, but seems like that didn't make it into this release.
- antocv 13y agoI wonder when we will be able to use some GOST ciphers with it, just for fun and diversification from NIST ciphers. Does anyone know what the Chinese equivalent of NIST is? What does China use?
- JoachimS 13y agoIn terms om symmetric ciphers we know of two chinese ones: sms4 and zuc. The latter has also been accepted as standard by 3GPP (SAGE). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuc_stream_cipher https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuc_stream_cipher Not sure why anybody would want to use them or the GOST standards unless required/forced to do so.
- Smegger 13y agoWell if you were to use a mix of encryption algorithms from the US and China while each may have a back door in their own they are most assuredly not going to share them with each other. So it you encrypted a message with say RSA and $random_chinesse_cipher neither government would be likely to have the ability to read it.
- Steuard 13y agoI think the idea is to encrypt with multiple cyphers, each endorsed by a different government (preferably mutually mistrustful governments). That way, in principle, the Chinese may have a backdoor to one layer and the US to another, but they'd need to work together to break your whole message. I have no idea how useful this would be in practice.
- betterunix 13y agoI suspect that the NSA would be aware of weaknesses in Chinese ciphers as much as in American ciphers, so I doubt that this would help much...
