then what do you suggest to use? i hear it all the time "pgp sucks" but what's the alternative huh?
In light of the recent GnuPG vulnerabilities, I remembered that OpenPGP is almost never the right choice. CMS/PKCS#7 isn't any better, and X.509 is also bad except that its extremely wide deployment in TLS keeps it alive. See https://www.latacora/com/blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem/ and https://soatok.blog/2024/11/15/what-to-use-instead-of-pgp/. -- Sincerely, Demi Marie Obenour (she/her/hers)
