Standard S/MIME for e-mail, minisign for signing software, standard ASICE for encrypted containers

Never heard of ASCIE, I assume you're referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Signature_Container...

[Avamander]

Indeed. It's an EU standard, http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/319100_319199/31916201/0...

S/MIME is even worse than PGP.

[Avamander]

S/MIME has better e-mail client support and has massive deployment (use, not that much) in Estonia. I think it already beats PGP in two major aspects with that.

[tptacek]

S/MIME manages the feat of being even less secure than PGP-encrypted email, which was, again, a low bar to trip over.

[Avamander]

Please elaborate.

I think efail showed S/MIME was even more susceptible.

[Avamander]

That vulnerability has been largely mitigated, hasn't it? I'm really curious how GPG is more secure than S/MIME right now.
