OpenPGP looking forward: RFC9580, PQC, implementations, interfaces

Speaker: Justus Winter

Track: MiniDebConf Hamburg

Type: Long talk

Room: Dock Europe Seminarraum

Time: May 03 (Sat): 16:50

Duration: 0:45

This talk has three parts. First, I present the new revision of OpenPGP and the current effort to add quantum-safe algorithms to the protocol. Second, I give an overview over modern OpenPGP implementations: the OpenPGP landscape is much richer than five years ago, and there are plenty implementations to chose from, depending on your needs. Finally, I talk about interfacing with OpenPGP implementations, from generic interfaces to specialized ones, and how to bridge programming language boundaries.

The target audience are OpenPGP power users (such as Debian developers), packagers caring for software that integrates OpenPGP, and finally developers looking to integrate OpenPGP into their software, or considering to change implementations.
