A new OpenPGP Library
Sequoia focuses on security and robustness in our choice of tools, our development methodology, and feature set. Read more.
A library is only as good as its integration in downstream projects. As such, we made ease of use one of our main goals. Read more.
Improving the security of OpenPGP users requires more than a new implementation. Therefore, we are taking a holistic approach and are improving the ecosystem. Read more.
Sequoia PGP is more than just a reimplementation of an existing tool. The team behind it is rethinking tooling for the broader PGP ecosystem. Their innovative ideas are making PGP easier to use. I can’t wait to see Sequoia PGP be more broadly adopted.
During the last 3 years the PGP ecosystem got un-stuck, largely thanks to the Sequoia project. They put in the gargantuan effort of re-implementing PGP, but also started re-imagining other tools in the ecosystem, with the same common-sense, practical security approach. This is already making a difference for my team, and those whose security we’re responsible for.
Sequoia has fundamentally improved my work on the pEp Engine. I love how fast all the tests run on Sequoia. It’s OBSCENE. With the old PGP implementation it would take nearly 2 minutes to run. With Sequoia, running the whole test suite takes less than 2 seconds. I am… not free from symptoms of ADHD. Running all of the tests on Sequoia means that they’re over before I have time to get distracted. That’s a serious improvement.
