  I have taken your concerns to heart and will integrate guest accommodations into the Matrix server.

  Email minus pgp you are correct email with pgp I honestly think it’s more secure than all of them since you know the protocol is not going to help you and it was the end to end encryption before it was cool. It’s just a pain in the ass to use but that has nothing to do with security. I trust a pgp encrypted email over a matrix or signal where it all happens behind the scenes to the user.

    My major concern is the nature of the request. Please email me an unencrypted email so that I can send you a PGP key to sign further encrypted comms to a different email address.

    Also you’re correct PGP is difficult to handle in email as it’s bolted onto an old and plaintext protocol. I’m learning a lot about email here. Most of my PGP signed packages are done in linux repositories and I admit that I’m not as familiar with it as ECDSA and other encryption algos.

      Yeah that would be bullshit he doesn’t need to send you the key via email he would just need to upload it to a public key server and be done with it.

        Thanks for the pointers on PGP. All the work I’ve done with PGP is with linux packages. I didn’t know how it was bolted onto email.
