Sequoia does not (yet) have feature parity with GnuPG. Several important components are missing including a public key store. In GnuPG, the public key store is mandatory. In our discussions with application developers, in particular, deve

Sequoia consists of a number of components. There is the low-level crate. We released version 1.0 of that in Dec. 2020. There is sq, the CLI tool. We released that a few weeks ago. We've barely started work on the high-level inter

Right. The sq cli does not have an subcommand to add new subkeys to an existing certificate. But it can use such certificates, and when it generates a certificate, it, by default, generates a certificate with subkeys. This functionality w

I think you've misunderstood something. sq has no problem generating certificates with subkeys. Here's the default structure. Notice that we actually include a separate signing subkey by default. This makes it harder to use a

We've been considering this, but we'd rather have people use the library. We already have the start of a Python interface, which is pretty easy to use, IMHO. But, I suspect that some people will insist on a shell script. So, we&

by nwalfield 8y ago
What would make a friendly interface in your opinion? The sq frontend uses git style subcommands to clearly separate actions from options. This is something that gpg doesn't do too well. For instance, commands (e.g., -e) look like op

One way to reduce the cost of cross CPU synchronization is to use sloppy reference counters: "An Analysis of Linux Scalability to Many Cores" ( https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/papers/linux:osdi10.pdf )

set -o pipefail makes common idioms a pain. Consider using head, which simply exits after it has read a few lines. In this case, the input process gets a SIGPIPE and exits with a non-zero exit code: Consider /tmp/test.sh: se
