GnuPG with add-ons for a MUAs seems therefore a bit outdated and is probably mostly used among Mailing List members.Yes, there is a perception of "outdatedness". Maybe it is needed to show the advantages to make it look modern. A tool that is more effective should be modern. Of course, email belong to many, a proprietary messenger to one vendor, guess who has more marketing money. ;)An exception might be the new Thunderbird, with OpenPGP support.The choise of implementing a pre-standard way of protected headers and making it the default without way to disable it, was doing email and secure email a disservice in my opionion. :(
options than email, especially when it comes to decentralised and confidential communications.
Hopefully the Industry will take a look at affordable hardware based encrypted Fax comms for
the little individual or small business owner. https://www.tccsecure.com/Products/voice-fax-data-encryption/CSD3324spf-detail.aspxHardware based AES/DH crypto phones (no smartphones) would be a welcome addition too.
Or that the OpenPGP community revives PGPfone, for free Internet calls, at least ...
