@skinnylatte very cool set! the double (?) exposure is bending my mind a bit

New release today: #rPGP version 0.14.0 ✨

(#OpenPGP implemented in pure #Rust, permissively licensed)

https://github.com/rpgp/rpgp/releases/tag/v0.14.0

This release brings rather complete support for the excellent new OpenPGP RFC 9580 (also known as "crypto refresh", or "v6")

RFC 9580 standardizes modern cryptographic mechanisms for OpenPGP: AEAD-based encryption, Argon2, and SHA2 fingerprints for the new OpenPGP v6 key format (v4 keys use SHA1).

Thanks @NGIZero for supporting this work!

Meet oct-git, a new #OpenPGP signing and verification tool for use with the #Git distributed version control system:

https://crates.io/crates/openpgp-card-tool-git 🦀

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)

Two days ago I switched my OpenPGP card-based #git signing setup away from gpg to an experimental new Rust alternative.

I did not realize how much of a quality of life improvement that would be. Very excited that pin entry popups are (almost entirely) a thing of the past for me, now.

You'll be able to easily run OpenPGP CA instances on hardware devices like Gnuk, Nitrokey, YubiKey, soon!
