  Generate a PGP key from a passphrase

Derive my keypair entirely from a passphrase, with generous key stretching. I never need to worry about backing up my keys. I later extended this idea to OpenPGP and SSH, where I also exclusively use passphrase-derived keys: passphrase2pgp.

  An encryption format offering better security, performance and ease of use than PGP. File a bug if you found anything where we are worse than our competition, and we will fix it.

On #2 there is a format and toolset that I am working on with similar goals, for message and file encryption. You can use either shared passphrases or 25519 public keys to protect your data. It is and will always be completely free in both meanings of the word. https://github.com/covert-encryption/covert
