      It’s actually quite similar. Non-fungible since only OP has the private key but easy to steal by just downloading the image (and cropping the key if you want).

        Right. OpenPGP is the protocol. PGP is the original app, which predates the spec.

            PGP is a different piece of software though. Would you refer to Firefox as “Chrome” because both of them can use the same protocol (HTTP)?

            This reminds me of my parents referring to every games console as a “PlayStation” lol

              Except PGP is a substring of the ‘technically correct’ term. It’s like someone saying you’re playing on your Nintendo - “Um, actually it’s a Nintendo 64.”

    Has anyone confirmed that signature? I think it’s not possible to have the signature as a part of the data itself. Kinda chicken egg problem
