check out opmsg how it achieves compatibility with gnupg and imagine a tool that actually looks like gpg but figures out which crypto backend to call.

signal the app exists and is much more used than already than pgp ever was. it's a different story that i don't recommend it myself, only the protocol.

the listed examples all exist. signal is already more widely used than pgp ever was in the last 25 years.

opmsg does masquerade as gnupg on the cli, if you take this further you could create a gnupg chameleon which detects what keys are available or what the input is based on auxillary info and then invoke the appropriate tool (which might be gnupg, or something else).

on a different note: gnupg is not widely used, signal is.

strange, my mistake i guess. sorry for the noise

deleted, mistake

not the curve25519 based ones, the symmetric salsa based ones should be.

the problem with "transparent to the end user" is a variation of Geers Law: "Any security technology whose effectiveness can't be empirically determined is indistinguishable from blind luck."

if you do not control your keys, then someone else does.

the problem is not that "pgp doesn't use 25519" the problem is the openpgp format as per rfc4880 and the whole thing being from the naive nineties, not suited for advanced adversaries we have since then.

i also gave a talk on pbp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl_gLMef1mI

also there will be soon (in 1-2 months) a hardware token available based on this. look for project: PITCHFORK

back in the days i consulted with tom on pcp a bit. Why, because i took it a bit further with: https://github.com/stef/pbp - there's even an axolotl implementation available - but not integrated yet: https://github.com/stef/saxolotl

nice! this could also rate the hosts regarding their tracking/adserving history perhaps.

utterson is in fact an established 7 year old static blog engine: https://github.com/stef/utterson/

for avoiding confusion please change your projects name. thx,s

a privacy respecting and much more polished search engine you might like is searx: https://github.com/asciimoo/searx

Thank you guys, your support is very much appreciated! I think there might be some karma limit on this site that prohibits you from voting on stories.

i use utterson: http://www.ctrlc.hu/~stef/blog/posts/utterson_v1.0.html

it bugged me, so i removed the zsh dependency. thanks for the feedback. ;)

unfortunately currently yes, but it is high on my list to reduce this to ksh only. but anyway everyone should have ksh for scripting and zsh for interactive shelling if you ask me. ;)

you might also try out utterson, a unix based variant (make, zsh, ksh, awk, m4, etc): http://github.com/stef/utterson

actually it is possible already to set up certificates and use them for authentication, in firefox you can check this under preferences/advanced/encryption

start earning their respect, become one of them.
