Having such experiences more than once reduced trust and sympathy for GnuPG, thus also willingness to contribute to testing or development. But maybe just my expectations of GnuPG as open source software are wrong and my limited communication skills do not allow me to sort it out in a more positiv

2019-12-14 Thread Dave via Gnupg-users
I've been playing around some with OpenSSL recently, and it seems to me that the OpenSSL command structure is rather convoluted. I've read a number of articles, blog posts, etc. that criticize GNUPG and even make the case that people should stop using it, in large part because of concerns around t
