Yeah, PGP’s what I’d call something coming with and for the “old” Internet, the slow, federated, cleartext, client–server, monocast and sedentary one. Another critique: <http://secushare.org/PGP>. But if you really want to fix all these issues, what you need is not improving PGP/GnuPG, but rebuilding the whole Internet. That’s not the goal of GnuPG, you’d better give a look at GNUnet. To fix these issues, it doesn’t only plan to replace GnuPG, but also mail, IRC, jabber, web forums, web itself, HTTP(S), newsgroups, FTP, bittorrent, TLS, DNS(SEC), TCP–UDP/IP, BGP, and quite everything that you could imagine in Internet, which is all fundamentally completely broken, obsolete and way excessively complicated, if you try to see things from this point of view. Yet PGP hides some information in a more secure way than cleartext, is usable by the people who need it the most and is part of our internet tech culture. So waiting during we try to rebuild and revolution the world again, it stays fine to keep using it, but we need to know its deficiencies, and to take care of who, how, when, where and why to teach it.
