Moxie Marlinspike, creator of Signal Messenger, is launching Confer, an open-source AI assistant designed to ensure user data remains private and unreadable by anyone except the account holders. Utilizing strong encryption and trusted execution environments, Confer aims to set a new standard for AI chatbots while maintaining user confidentiality and security.

GpgFrontend is a user-friendly, cross-platform open-source GUI for OpenPGP encryption that caters to both beginners and experts. It features one-click encryption, easy installation across various platforms, secure key transfer, and supports multiple algorithms, making it a versatile tool for maintaining privacy and security. Contributions to the project are encouraged, and users can dive into module development and translation efforts to enhance the application further.
