  • @tapdattl@lemmy.world Hey, I’m late but I may have found something you like! It’s not for S/MIME but for OpenPGP keys, another method of email signing and encryption which does not require the certification by an authority (Actalis)

    It’s a website to list all OpenPGP public keys, and I know thunderbird (for desktop at least) automatically looks there whenever you write an email to an address to see if it has a public key.

    As far as I understand, there are some advantages and disadvantages on OpenPGP, mainly :

    • Actalis generates your private key, so if you follow the S/MIME tutorial they’ll be able to decrypt your messages. With OpenPGP it’s done locally on your computer so you don’t need to send your private key to anyone.
    • However, there is no way to easily revocate an OpenPGP key, so if yours leak, you can’t just go on your Actalis dashboard and revocate it.

    It’s up to you to pick a method based on your needs!
