Zero days since it turned out that #GnuPG has arbitrarily changed behavior between versions in the name of "safe default", and required you to pass an additional option to make it behave properly in the rare cases it matters. Of course we still need to support old versions and alternative implementations without that option. And of course there is no clean way of checking whether it's available or not. https://bugs.gentoo.org/983021 #OpenPGP #GPG #Gentoo

I'm glad I switched #HardenedBSD away from #GnuPG to #OpenSSH based (detached) signatures. Not saying there's zero bugs in OpenSSH, but it seems to me (with zero factual research) OpenSSH has a better overall security posture than the alternatives. #infosec #gpg
