Stefan explains the difference between the PGP specification and its implementations in this blog post, highlighting the importance of understanding this distinction. PGP allows flexibility in the order of operations, but the specification doesn't mandate a specific order for the packets. However, there is an exception for the order of signature packets. The author recommends signing the message before encryption and suggests encrypting both the message and the signature for sender anonymity. It concludes by stating that knowing these details would have been beneficial when starting with PGP.

Welcome back to our journey into the world of PGP (Pretty Good Privacy). In our previous blog, we discovered the remarkable features of PGP. Now, it's time to unlock the secrets of PGP keys.

Discover the basics of PGP (Pretty Good Privacy), an encryption system vital for online security. In a series of blog posts, the author breaks down the key principles of PGP, including signing, compression, and encryption. PGP combines symmetric and asymmetric encryption, using a unique session key encrypted with the recipient's public key for secure messaging. By understanding PGP, users can ensure the integrity and confidentiality of their digital communications.

World Backup Day is a global initiative that takes place annually on the 31st of March. It was established to raise awareness about the importance of data backup and to encourage individuals and businesses to protect their critical data. On this day, people are reminded of the devastating consequences of data loss and the importance of having a backup plan in place.

Over the past few decades, the technology industry has grown rapidly, transforming the world we live in today. While the industry has seen significant growth, it has also been marked by a persistent gender gap. Women have historically been underrepresented in technology roles, with only a small percentage of women occupying positions in technical and leadership roles.

Studies show that Low-code will increasingly replace traditional software development in the coming years. Let’s find out how to get started with Low-Code in an easy way and have a closer look on the areas of application in this blog, to make your start with Low-code successful!

Low-code development platforms are becoming increasingly popular with companies because they enable them to create applications independently, even if they have little or no programming knowledge. In my blog post, I’ll describe the origins of low-code, explain how it works and list important considerations for its implementation.

The day-to-day work in software development is work that requires a lot of brainpower. It involves high cognitive demands and skills in which perception and attention play a special role. The problem with this is that the way people think can be distorted. A distorted way of thinking leads to thinking traps and consequently to mistakes. Anyone who has mastered a few perceptual-psychological basics can adapt their way of working and especially their programming style in a way that avoids thinking traps and recognises mistakes more quickly.
