Implementation of draft-ietf-openpgp-persistent-symmetric-keys

[falko-strenzke]

In our project we considering the implementation of draft-ietf-openpgp-persistent-symmetric-keys in RNP. Currently the draft mainly addresses the re-encryption (and authentication) of existing messages with symmetric keys that are part of the users key ring for the purpose of local (or mailbox) storage. As discussed during the IETF 120 OpenPGP session, the author Daniel Huigens is considering to widen the scope of the draft to also support the usage of the persistent symmetric keys for the purpose of communication.

@ni4 @TJ-91 Would this draft be relevant for integration in RNP?

@kaie Would Thunderbird care to use this feature to allow symmetric re-encryption or entirely symmetrically encrypted and authenticated e-mail communication?
