Digital Privacy – low and high hanging fruits, and how to pick them.
summary
pEp claims to make PGP usable by automating installs and automatic key management, attaching and exchanging keys behind the scenes, encrypting headers and even encrypts headers and subject, and replacing long fingerprints with trust words for easy verification. Core code is open source and audited; clients and plugins exist for email (Outlook, Thunderbird, Android, iOS) and a new key synchronization method links multiple devices. Work also targets integrating peer‑to‑peer UNet to limit metadata and testing scalability toward a million users.
