Who's coming to #39C3?
I'm up for meeting up for a chat and talk about literally anything #cryptography #decentralization or #p2p related.

#RedHat just shipped its first RPM signed with #PostQuantum #Cryptography, completing a major push across multiple teams to make this happen.

I just found this cool video explaining the Diffie-Hellman cryptographic key exchange with the analogy of mixing colors! I was not aware of this neat explanation! Cute!

New Blog: #Keyserver Updates and Roadmap, December 2025
...
About half of the public #Hockeypuck keyservers have been upgraded to the 2.3 branch (as of 2025-12-08), including the pgpkeys.eu servers. A small number remain on 2.1 for compatibility reasons, but the remaining issues preventing upgrade of these 2.1 servers will be addressed in an upcoming 2.3.x release.
...
While HKPv2 and RFC9580 support are the current priorities, further improvements are planned for delivery in 2026 and 2027. These include:
* Allowing #OpenPGP key owners to explicitly restrict the distribution of third-party signatures over their User IDs, to prevent signature flooding.
* Out of band email proofs of User ID validity, to mitigate spam and impersonation.
* A fully-featured management API to better handle deletion and blocklisting of incorrect or spammy keys.
* Native rate limiting and tor exit node abuse detection.
* Detection (and potential removal) of keys with known vulnerabilities or weaknesses.
* Improvements to the dump and restore process to allow a running server to be backed up without a restart.

In October, I gave a talk about post-quantum #cryptography at the #OpenSSL Conference in Prague. Yesterday, the video dropped. If you're interested, head to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXHEweoTj60!
