[liberationtech] AnnealMail: post-quantum fork of Enigmail

[Nick Doiron]

Hi,

Earlier this year, I started researching post-quantum encryption (PQE). I'm
a developer but not a mathematician or cryptographer, so I looked for a way
to contribute to more widespread use of PQE.

Today I'm launching AnnealMail ( https://annealmail.github.io ), a fork of
Enigmail which uses the McEliece cryptosystem for encrypting messages and a
Merkle tree for signatures.

The cryptography comes from rewriting the gpg and gpg-agent calls for the
CodeCrypt command-line tool by Mirek Kratochvil:
https://github.com/exaexa/codecrypt

Use at your own risk. I'm not affiliated with Mozilla, Enigmail, or
CodeCrypt.
