Hello, Werner and GnuPG lovers, I'd like to share Matthias Kirschner's article today.
http://blogs.fsfe.org/mk/i-love-free-software-thanks-to-all-the-gnupg-contributors/ And I'd like to say, thank you to all in this opportunity. Well, let me wrote something to celebrate http://ilovefs.org/ In 1999, I met Werner when he visited Japan for FSF seminar in Tokyo. Yes, we exchanged GPG public keys at that time. Then, in 2004, when I visited Germany to join LinuxTag in Karlsruhe, I visited FSFE booth. IIRC, Werner gave me OpenPGPcard version 1.0 (That's _the_ cause which eventually resulted Gnuk). In return, I taught my invention of GDHProtocol: http://www.gniibe.org/pages/gdhp.html Perhaps, some people remembered that we played GDHP in front of the FSFE booth. This time, we exchanged the disks. In the autumn of 2010, I started writing Gnuk, and it caused me to join GnuPG development, so that I could improve scdaemon. In 2011, I signed contracts between FSF to assign copyright. I remember that the counter-part signer of GnuPG was Peter, and the one of Libgcrypt was John, because of personnel changes in FSF. At that time, I didn't expect more involvement than scdaemon, but Werner was right. Gradually, my involvement increased. I happened to review or modify routines in libgcrypt for public key cryptography or lower level functions for that. In 2013, I reviewed ECC code, and then, hacked code for exponentiation to recover performance regression. Now, I'm trying to support Curve25519 in GnuPG. This year, I plan to join Debconf 15 to meet Werner again. If possible, I'd like to play GDHP there.
