Apple's airdrop is for that.)įor one-time authenticated messaging (some people call that signcryption) which is pretty much the whole use-case of PGP, there seems to be only one contender so far: saltpack. (There is a use-case for synchronous file transfer though, and that's when we're near by. we just all need to agree on one way of encrypting a file and eureka does just that in a hundred lines of code. We already have a multitude of asynchronous ways to transfer files nowadays (dropbox, google drive, email, messaging, etc.) so the problem is not there. There's also magic wormhole which is often mentioned, and does some really interesting cryptography, but does not seem to address a real use-case (in my opinion) for the following reason: it's synchronous. OK so what can I advise to my readers? What are the alternatives out there?įor file signing, Frank Denis wrote minisign which looks great.įor file encryption, I wrote eureka which does the job. Email metadata, including the subject (which is literally message content), are always plaintext. Even with PGP, it’s default-plaintext, which means that even if you do everything right, some totally reasonable person you mail, doing totally reasonable things, will invariably CC the quoted plaintext of your encrypted message to someone else (we don’t know a PGP email user who hasn’t seen this happen). And there's just not way to have forward secrecy if we want a near-stateless system.Įmail is insecure. Integration with email is doomed from my point of view.
