Let me oopsify.
I asked what tools people here recommended for encrypted messages "for
personal use".
But I confused the issue by first asking if we wanted a secure messaging
solution for this group. Sorry!
One scenario: I would like to connect securely using my phone (text for
sure) with security people that I know on the webs, or in a security
consulting firm.
Another scenario: Connect (text, maybe voice) to outside security people
and co-workers during a security incident, when my work email and my
whole work machine, could be assumed pwned.

Let's remember this is a public list. If one wants to do secure
messaging, this is usually to a restricted list of recipients, each
with their own public key, regardless of the encryption or security
software. About having a shared keypair, the key is no more public. And
to encrypt the message to each and every of us, either the sender has
all public keys, or the mail relay has the ability to decrypt the
received message, and re-encrypt it to each and everyone individually
on the list.
As for verifying the authenticity of a given email, this means that
everyone has to sign it, and that anyone who wants to verify the
signature of a given message, the recipient needs to have the public
key of the sender, as well as some trust in this public key, beyond
just downloading it from a key server.

Hi
Re: "China-linked attacks on U.S. telecom networks"
Do we want to have a secure messaging solution for this group?
Is there a preferred encrypted messaging solution for personal use?
Tom's Guide has a report that seems useful.
