Which bit of PGP?

lrvick an hour ago | parent [-]

Self-sovereign PKI identity, key discovery, file encryption, artifact, code, review signing, security disclosures, boot signing etc etc.

Who's reinventing a tool that can do all that?

No one. The influencers are simply telling you you're wrong if you think you need that.

Which is the thing, we do need a single key that can be used for all those things. So we get PGP.

We do? This is not obvious. Why does my disk encryption key need to be the same that I use to sign binaries that I release?
