Suggestions of standards added to openpgp/Gnupg/LibrePgp

[Hakun_the_eril]

Oh  I was not aware of that.

My arguments are:
Shamirs secret has been around since 1979,- I find it odd that it is not
included in Openpgp.
It could add things like distributed key custody, hardware enforced split
custody. Right now,- if someone with a key leaves or dies important
encrypted data gets lost.
That would cause issues for any organization.   It could also fix the
plausible "only one person knows the password" to a " K of N can cooperate"
situation.
That would also work for a encrypted file system,- split into parts.
If a hardware token has , say 256 GB space.. Then it can be a part of a
Shamirs secret scheme.  4 out of 6 keys could be used to recreate the
shared encrypted file system on a empty drive.


Ephemeral signed elliptic curve diffie hellman is usable, because it will
solve a forward security issue.
If you encrypt say radio transmissions with the same key over long periods
anyone who gets hold of that key can decrypt old transmissions.
TLS 1.3 , the signal protocol and versions of openssh that is never than
5.7 supports this.

I have no business relations with Baochip,- I just think its interesting
and neat.
