GnuPG / GPG how create an EdDSA key !? [ SOLVED ] in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Thank you @[email protected] ! it works !

Please select what kind of key you want:
(1) RSA and RSA (default)
(2) DSA and Elgamal
(3) DSA (sign only)
(4) RSA (sign only)
(7) DSA (set your own capabilities)
(8) RSA (set your own capabilities)
(9) ECC and ECC
(10) ECC (sign only)
(11) ECC (set your own capabilities)
(13) Existing key
(14) Existing key from card\

I'm wondering whats is the option: (9) ECC and ECC ?? I found nothing in their documentation :/

how output ps aux | grep aUser and keeping Newline ? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi,

by doing a

ps aux | grep UserName

The output do not keep the LF[^1] ๐Ÿ˜ก

I've found some solution online by they involve 3 or more pipe | !

On my side, I've made this

ps -fp $(pgrep -d, -u UserName)

But still I found it not super human readable.

Is their a native way with ps to filter users ? or to grep it but the keep the LF ?

Hi,

I've seen some tutorial to create EdDSA key with Gnupg

gpg --full-gen-key

and it's supposed to allow me to create ECC key, but I see only

Please select what kind of key you want:
(1) RSA and RSA (default)
(2) DSA and Elgamal
(3) DSA (sign only)
(4) RSA (sign only)

Your selection?\

gpg --version show:

...
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.27
Supported algorithms:
Pubkey: RSA, ELG, DSA, ECDH, ECDSA, EDDSA
...

Any idea what's wrong ?

Hi,

I would like to use Gnupg to encrypt, sign... documents.

I've downloaded the Manual, it's quite extensive. So the learning curve is proportional :)

I've tried the GPA GUI, but with it, it seem impossible to generate an ECC key..

So what would be your recommendation to be able to generate ECC keys, be able to encrypt, sign etc.. with or without GUI.

Thanks.

Hi,

I would like to display the new lines of /var/log/messages that contain either IN_MyText or OUT_MyText (no matter where in the line)

I've tried

tail -fn 3 /var/log/messages | grep --color --line-buffered -e "(IN|OUT)_MyText"

But the output stay blank, when it should not...

Any ideas ?

I've did some more digging.

and Briar still remain better at security level !

The big downside of SimpleX is that it's not P2P and IP correlation by watching your traffic is possible.

SimpleX recommend to use Tor on top of it with for example Orbot. That's a good idea, but not the best to convince none-tech folks to adopt it. (it's already so hard to change peoples habit... ) Tor should be embedded.

As soon Tor is embedded I will migrate to it. SimpleX have nice thought features and it's easy to use.

Thank you very much @[email protected] & @[email protected]

The EFF article is really interesting for everyone. ( I was aware of this )

Indeed no one should assume that his packets are not intercepted along the road. But conceive an software that on top of that, specifically route the traffic trough his server not make it better (on the opposite in my opinion)

Even if the owner of those server do not process the data... ( This is relying on blind trust) those servers might be breached. (in addition to the systemic data recording, like in the EFF article )

Let put it simple, is SimpleX offer on the actual Internet (can't wait the next gen, GNUnet or anything similar) a similar level of Trust & privacy than Briar ?

A little update.

I've just tested simplex on Android.

it's very well thought out ! The features make sense. UNFORTUNATELY it's not P2P ! all the messages pass by their servers :'( with Briar it's P2P.... weirdly they claim their way is better than P2P ! any comment on that ?

In my point of view, if messages are stored somewhere it's mean the can be process[^1] !

Cheers.

jamiโ€™s good but it uses turn server to verify your name

So is it secure ? does that mean you rely on those server to be able to created an account ?

I think your mistaken... Can someone confirm ?

So I was eager to test Jami, but on Windows it require Windows 10.. so no way --> https://itvision.altervista.org/why-windows-10-sucks.html

anyway I gave a quick try on a test machine (win10) But I got , not matter what I entered

Too bad because it had on paper, a lot of nice features..

On linux, too bad they don't provide (yet) an AppImage...

I'll try it and give my review... but is it require to make a "jami" account on their server !??

Hi,

I'm looking for an instant messaging ( IM ) ~~apps~~ software/protocol that run on Android and computer

and meet the following requirements :

  • Open source !
  • E2EE
  • Messages are send in direct ! (not passing by a server)
  • handle group
  • Truly private ! ( That's the tricky part )

ย 

The closest that I've found is Briar

  • +can work without internet ! (bluetooth, local wifi, files !)
  • + use TOR
  • - Mutual party have to exchange key (or your can introduce someone)
  • - sending media suck for now, poor image quality
  • - no call or voice messaging

ย 

I've been looking for alternatives:

  • ~~Session~~
    • Sadly it keep ALL the conversation into server !!! so it's a no go.
  • speek
    • I didn't try it yet, any feedback ?
  • simplex
    • it look very promising ! (didn't tried it yet)
    • + seem to handle multiple profile in one !
    • + do not require that both party send an invitation !
    • ~~! I didn't found (yet) if the messages are send in direct or pass by a server..~~
      It's not P2P all the messages pass by servers.. too bad.

All post about alternatives or experience with the one that I cited are welcome.
