>>9106549> It makes sense.It does not. Here's how it would work:
Q posts a public key on 8kun, so everybody knows it is from him.
Then Q posts wherever he likes, in open plain text on forums, ending each post with a cryptographic signature. Boomers can read the plain text message without having to decrypt it or do anything, while technically competent users can verify that the plain text, the public key Q gave them, and the crypto signature at the end of the post all match.
There is no way to trace a public key to its maker, it's derived with pure math and you can calculate it by hand if you want to.
Pgp is not strong enough for military encryption, but it is stronger than tripcodes, so it most certainly doesn't weaken his anonymity, and the point here is not even to prevent decryption, only to enable verification of the pseudonymous identity of the sender of a message.
Finally, it is obviously not following military op-sec standards to post classified information on image boards and relying on tripcodes and the integrity of board admins. Since he's therefor not trying to follow protocol/imply he's bound by them, the only reason to refer to such a standard is to imply he's trying to follow best practices to remain anonymous. Which is good and what he should do. Only that since tripcodes are weaker than even pgp he wouldn't be improving his anonymity by going with tripcodes over pgp (no standards would make any such claims, since this is obvious to anyone in the field), making his point self-contradicting, something he would know if he wasn't a complete larp with absolutely zero clues on op-sec.
