GnuPG 2.5.0 is positioned as the first release of a new code base that includes the latest developments. In the future, a stable release 2.6.0 will be formed based on the GnuPG 2.5 branch. GnuPG 2.4 is presented as a stable branch that is optimal for widespread use. GnuPG 1.4 continues to be followed as a classic series that consumes minimal resources, is suitable for embedded systems, and is compatible with legacy encryption algorithms.
Key features of GnuPG 2.5.0:
* Added experimental support for the combined public key generation algorithm Kyber+ECC, which combines a cryptographic system based on elliptic curves (ECC, Elliptic Curve Cryptography) and the Kyber algorithm, which is resistant to selection on quantum computers. Kyber uses cryptographic methods based on solving lattice theory problems, the solution time of which does not differ on conventional and quantum computers.
• The gpg utility provides the ability to specify the "pqc" value in the "--quick-gen-key " option for using algorithms that are resistant to selection on quantum computers.
* Added the "--show-only-session-key" option to gpg to display only session keys.
* Implemented displaying a list of authorized persons who have the right to revoke user keys (designated revoker), not only in the "--with-colons " mode, but in other output modes.
* The option "--with-sig-check" can be used together with "--show-key" in output modes other than "--with-colons".
* Improved error handling and key import to TPM (Trusted Platform Module).
* Improved support for 64-bit Windows.
