The #39C3 “To sign or not to sign” (https://gpg.fail) talk is excellent. 👏
IMHO: Avoid PGP altogether, especially #GnuPG. Avoid memory unsafe programming languages, wherever feasible.
It is mind boggling, that the gpg team / g10 Code GmbH refuses to fix all vulnerabilities, given that their BSI (npub1prv…5px6) certification and thus their business model being at risk.
Also goes to show, that BSI certifications are worthless. Quel surprise?
