@PrototypeFund or... you could use #DeltaChat that makes encrypting #email so easy that even your mom will be sending you encrypted email (even verifed fingerprints safe against MITM) without even realizing it or knowing what is #PGP

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.

@stefan Seems like we should promote end to end #encryption of #email|s. #PGP #E2E

Delta Chat is a messaging platform that works over email.

Setup is similar to a email client.
Messaging is decentralized and interoperable.

Supports end-to-end encryption via PGP.
PGP encryption keys are created automatically.

Default desktop client is based on Electron.
Electron is based on the Google Chromium web browser.

@hardtech @revengeday @Tutanota Just as a FYI, note that @Tutanota doesn't actually offer standard encrypted emails ( #OpenPGP, #GPG or #PGP which has been used for decades): https://tuta.com/encryption

You of course don't notice this if you only send emails between Tuta users, but if you try to send an encrypted email externally, well then the whole thing breaks down and you end up having to arrange a secure way of sending a password to the recipient: https://tuta.com/support#encrypted-emails-external

Bijdrage aan het encryptiedebat in Nederland van 1994:

Overheid wil encryptie verbieden.

Maar kan justitie ook gecodeerde informatie onderscheiden van willekeurige onzinkarakters?

Gaan ze dan ook het versturen van onzin verbieden?

@stefano I'm frustrated because a solution to this problem exists for decades - its name is #PGP. Also it has it's disadvantages, problems and is of course not bullet proof, I wonder why nobody was able to design a GUI that is usable for most users with a few hours of training. You only need to understand 5 % of PGP to be able to use it.

I think convenience and lack of interest (until it's too late) are the main obstacles.

🔐 Tuta Mail introduces key verification to strengthen end-to-end encryption and defend against MITM attacks 👥
Users can now verify contacts’ public keys via QR code or manual comparison.
If skipped, Tuta defaults to TOFU (Trust On First Use) for seamless encryption 🧩

A friend with an iPhone want to read and write PGP-encrypted emails: what's the cheapest and simplest approach I can suggest him?

I know nothing about Apple products, but I guess they have a default mail agent. Yet I can't find online how to configure PGP.

🎬 When Code Became a Weapon

It's easy to take strong encryption for granted, but that hasn't always been the case. This week we're diving into the "Crypto Wars," covering historical attempts by the US government to restrict strong encryption being exported internationally.

Let us know what you think of this style of video! We're trying something different, and this is the first in a planned series lined up 😄

@delta @leaf @n0iroh the closest " #serverless / #P2P" I've seen is #OnionShare [made by @micahflee]...

Tho I think the true #future will be #decentralized, #federated and similar to eMail...

• Personally #XMPP+ #OMEMO is a good fit. I do think that #deltaChat's approach to using #PGP/MIME is good and can work even in more restrictive scenarios (i.e. corporations when #E2EE & #Messaging require indexed archives for compliance reasons!)...
