This article was more constructive (suggesting alternatives) than destructive (leveraging critiques), but it did link to several critiques/vulnerabilities with OpenPGP.
Unfortunately, half are about implementation issues (granted, it's made more difficult to implement something correctly when it's as convoluted and all-encompassing as PGP)—which are hopefully not applicable to Delta due to their 3rd party, applied cryptography audit—and the rest are obsolesced by the 2024 updates to the standard—RFC 9580, the so-called "crypto-refresh."
Do you have any critiques that address the current state of the PGP protocol's security?
