[$] A schism in the OpenPGP world

The OpenPGP standard for emailencryption has been around since1997, when it was derived from thevenerable Pretty GoodPrivacy (PGP) program that was released in1991. Since it came about,OpenPGP has been the decentralized, interoperable way to exchange encryptedemail, though its use never really took off as advocates hoped. Now, though, itwould seem that a split in the OpenPGP community threatens tofragment the OpenPGP-encrypted-email landscape, potentially leading tointeroperability woes.
