Moving forward: Forward Secrecy in OpenPGP
Channel: Sequoia PGP
Date: 31/07/2018

In this presentation, Justus presents ideas on how to realize forward secrecy while still preserving the ability to encrypt data at rest in OpenPGP.

Justus presents two proposals: the first is how to automate the approach to forward secrecy outlined in the Brown et al. Internet Draft in a multi-device scenario.  The second shows how to  implement Signal-style forward secrecy.  The former, simpler approach has the advantage that it can be realized today with only a few small changes to existing OpenPGP implementations.
