[delta-chat] Re: new android releases / switch to RSA2048 keys

Hi all, there is a new android release out on gplay and f-droid: https://delta.chat/en/2019-03-14-oauth2release one thing that we missed to announce is the default for encryption keys has changed and is now RSA2048 instead of the previous RSA3072. This improves the setup time (often taking 60 seconds, now 10) and also reduces message size. We are aiming to support ECC/ED25519 keys which will much reduce key sizes. If you are wondering if RSA2048 i safe enough you may consider: - gpg (the command line tool) defaults to RSA2048 - Autocrypt setup messages (transfering your secret key) are not safer than RSA2048 encryption keys. - general advise still is that RSA2048 is enough https://paragonie.com/blog/2019/03/definitive-2019-guide-cryptographic-key-… cheers, holger _______________________________________________ delta mailing list -- delta(a)codespeak.net To unsubscribe send an email to delta-leave(a)codespeak.net

If you want to see both chat and normal e-mails from an accepted contact, you can enable that in “advanced settings”. Some people also like to read all their e-mail with delta chat and they can enable seeing “all” messages as contact requests. ..... We made the algorithm more robust that automatically moves chat messages to the DeltaChat IMAP folder. You should now see less clutter in your INBOX with your regular e-mail app. There were many community discussions in the last year around this topic and we hope we finally found a way that is robust and easy to understand. All chat messages will be automatically moved to the DeltaChat folder. Also any reply you get to a chat message that you previously sent to a regular-email user.
