ALSO, I'm reminded that there was this other #HKP #keyserver released a few years ago, compatible w/ #SKS but written in #Golang, which might relieve some of "zomg unmaintainable!" problems with the SKS servers: https://hockeypuck.github.io/ !crypto #PGP #GnuPG
@boneidol The signature-flooding attack on the SKS #keyservers (and DoS of their users) is bad but doesn't actually sound like any kind of #apocalypse, and has basically nothing to do with the #WoT; signature-chains maybe, but that's something else entirely. !crypto
@rozzin Maybe I am misunderstanding, but the poisoning prevents people from updating keys to check trust paths. The proposed replacement service https://keys.openpgp.org/ does not link ID ( email address) to the public key, unless asked to. And more importantly from a WoT is does not have any third party signatures. So can't be used to follow a trust path
