    Description:
    At the 39th
    Chaos Communication Congress (39C3) in December, researchers Lexi
    Groves ("49016") and Liam Wachter said that they had discovered a
    number of flaws in popular implementations of OpenPGP email-encryption standard. They also released an
    accompanying web site, gpg.fail , with
    descriptions of the discoveries. Most of those
    presented were found in GNU Privacy
    Guard (GPG), though the pair also discussed problems in age , Minisign , Sequoia , and the OpenPGP
    standard (RFC 9580) itself. The discoveries have spurred some interesting discussions and as well as responses from GPG and Sequoia
    developers.
