A sapling matures: meet sq 1.0
Monday December 16, 2024. 10:58 PM , from LWN.net
The Sequoia PGP project has announced
version 1.0 of the sq command-line tool for managing OpenPGP encryption and signatures. It also provides a decentralized public key infrastructure (PKI), and key management facilities. This is the first stable release since development began on the project in 2017. sq's PKI is probably its most notable feature, and the one we invested the most time in. The PKI is used to authenticate certificates, and messages. Authentication is necessary to ensure that you are encrypting to the person you think you are, and to identify who really authored a message; without authentication, encryption and verification are much weaker.
