Yeah, in 2020, PGP is an elaborate foot-gun. The suggestion of Noise protocol is actually more interesting, as it'ssmaller and more future-proof than TLS. But while there areimplementations in several languages, it's not as ubiquitous as TLS.(For instance, I had no trouble writing a Gemini server in Common Lisp,but I'd have to write my own bindings of the C implementation to useNoise protocol.) I'd have to read a lot more about it to know what itsadvantages are. -- Jason McBrayer | “Strange is the night where black stars rise,jmcbray at carcosa.net | and strange moons circle through the skies, | but stranger still is lost Carcosa.” | ― Robert W.
