     We're a multilingual family. I'll be impressed if a deepfake scammer manages our idiomatic mix of all three languages. 😁

     @mcv @eff We've had PGP and SMIME email for ages but hardly anyone bothers...
     Since it takes both parties it's blocked by chicken-and-egg problems getting started.
     Kind of amazing that it has come to this and still nobody is very serious about solidly authenticating million-dollar scale transactions.

     @lmk @eff

     I guess business have to build tools to finally support proper public key authentication in everything.

     @eff Serious question: What are businesses supposed to do? Secrets are hard to keep in large organizations, and they need to authenticate between organizations.
