* [[http://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20110530221728][OpenBSD]]

* TODO Use raw public keys (RFC 7250) for TLS communications 		  :2:

** Support for this is planned for GnuTLS version 3.6

   https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/issues/26

** Rationale

*** The client key is used both for communication and encryption

    Using raw keys in GnuTLS instead uses separate keys for

    communication and password decryption.

*** GnuTLS 3.5.9 has deprecated the OpenPGP functions

    The functions are still available, but deprecated:
