Justus is a co-founder of Sequoia PGP and is one of the authors of RFC9580, the current revision of OpenPGP. Having worked for a decade on OpenPGP, starting with payed work on GnuPG, then writing an OpenPGP implementation from scratch, and developing the OpenPGP Interoperability Test Suite, he has unique insights into the ecosystem.

In his free time, he juggles, mostly clubs and balls, but enjoys manipulating all kinds of objects, including himself. More recently he started bouldering, to the delight of his inner monkey.

Accepted Talks:

OpenPGP looking forward: RFC9580, PQC, implementations, interfaces

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.
