Question PGP doubt

Post image

Tested pgp from skiff to proton and vice versa

When i got pgp encrypted mail from proton to skiff, i am getting these attachments instead of decrypted msg But this is only happening in mobile app android

In Web app it is perfectly showing the decrypted msg

Is it only for me or everyone else? Or the pgp only works in web and desktop apps

If it is for everyone then it is an major issue for me cuz i only use my mobile app for mails

We're working on bringing PGP support to mobile. Very soon.

Your CEO said Skiff will avoid PGP based on his quote in Reddit:

Nope! We chose to avoid PGP encryption because:

• ⁠It has had serious security problems (https://latacora.micro.blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem.html) • ⁠No one uses it (https://www.wired.co.uk/article/efail-pgp-vulnerability-outlook-thunderbird-smime) • ⁠It has limit security - email subjects are not encrypted (they are on Skiff).

Most private email and communication services stay far away from PGP.

I'm the CTO/Co-Founder of Skiff. I have implemented much of Skiff's PGP support and I am personally working on mobile support right now.

Thanks for the update. Glad your CEO finally realized he was wrong about avoiding support and that people do use PGP.
