#e2ee is a goal, not a promise. As far back as I can remember, forums like those supporting #Enigmail and #gpg were staffed with volunteers from the privacy community who repeatedly insisted on answering questions, like, "Is <this> (whatever this might be) totally secure?" with stock questions like, "What is it that you consider 'totally secure?" or answers such as, "Secure is a relative term, nothing is completely secure, how secure do you need your mission's communications to be?"
Phrases such as, reasonably secure should be indicators of how ridiculous it is to assume that any secure platform isEVERcompletely, and totally secure.
That begs the question, "Exactly how secure do you require your communications to be?" The answer is always, ... relative.
Which means that you should always believe Ellen Ripley when she says, "Be afraid. Be very afraid!"
oct-git focuses exclusively on ergonomic use with OpenPGP card-based signing keys
It is designed to be easy to set up, standalone (no long running processes), and entirely hands-off to use (no repeated PIN entry required, by default). It comes with desktop notifications for touch confirmation (if required)
I just released version 0.3.1 of https://crates.io/crates/rsop, a stateless #OpenPGP ("sop") card tool based on #rPGP.
rsop natively supports OpenPGP card (hardware cryptography) devices
rsop is featured in the "OpenPGP interoperability test suite" at https://tests.sequoia-pgp.org/ (under "rpgpie", which is rsop's high level OpenPGP library).
This release adds the "oct admin signing-pin-validity" subcommand, to configure if a card requires User PIN presentation for each signature operation, or if User PIN presentation is valid for the full duration of a connection to the card.
Sequoia PGP's paid development is financed by @sovtechfund (❤️ ). In addition to writing code, they also support our standardization work, and community outreach. In this blog post, I discuss some of our community engagement (presentations and collaborations with sett, @securedrop, and @fedora) that have happened over the past few months.
