> Okay, I give up. What is "Parcimonie"? <puts on asbestos longjohns>
A poorly-thought-out answer to a problem that doesn't exist. Parcimonie is a key refreshing daemon. (So far, cool! It's a real problem. Solving this problem is cool.) In order to defend against completely hypothetical movie plot attacks, it insists on refreshing the keys spread out over a long period of time and routing everything through Tor. The developers of Parcimonie claim that if you refresh your keyring all at once, you're giving someone monitoring keyservers information about your social graph and that could be useful in defeating your privacy. That's true, but it's also missing the point. There are literally *thousands* of things people could hypothetically be doing to defeat your privacy: should we have thousands of tools to defend against these thousands of hypotheticals, or should we instead ask that we focus our efforts on the very real risks we face? Solving real problems is good. "Solving" hypothetical ones, I'm not fond of... _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
