Isn't this just similar to PGP but with a smaller public key?

- lisper 12y agoYes, this is essentially a PGP-like thing based on elliptic curves instead of RSA, so the keys and the signatures (and the code!) are all much smaller.
- rakoo 12y agoYes, minus the whole WoT part. Note also that support for ECC is already there in the latest GnuPG, and Ed25519 is already supported for signatures. The rest is coming: https://gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html#ecc https://gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html#ecc
- lisper 12y ago> minus the whole WoT part CLMM is not even close to being as featureful as GnuPG. But it does a lot for being <1500 LOC (compare to >200 kLOC for GnuPG). If you want to look under the hood to see how things word, CLMM is a lot more accessible, which was its primary goal.
