• Email Self-Defense - a guide to fighting surveillance with GnuPG encryption

  Also, isn't downloading and using DeltaChat would be easier? It used autocrypt protocol out of the box as well bunch of useful features and feels more like comfortable messenger than email. Source: almost 1 year ago

  There are also projects like signed web pages which can also help increasing the trust level to some degree. But that requires that you can download the source code and regenerate the verification hash locally - or have other trusted methods to verify the hash value hasn't been modified as well. The current concept is reasonably sane, but it requires too much from users currently to make it widely used. Source: almost 2 years ago

  > The server can at any time start serving malicious payloads True, and I call this threat model "Beware Each and Every Fetch" (BEEF) in contrast to the more common TOFU model (although if you trust a desktop app to auto-update itself then these two models might not be all that different). In any case, I think you're being a little quick to dismiss the idea of server-hosted applications. It's true that browsers... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
