Expand upon "public key encryption"

[bnvk]

The catalog only references this once- considering how massively complex and crucial this specific thing is in respect to security / privacy, I think it is HIGHLY worth expanding upon!

About a year ago, I started extracting some of the UX work I did on Mailpile relating to PGP keys into something similar to what you're doing. I never quite finished it due to obligations and lack of other projects involvement. The parts I made progress on are:

UI Components for Keys

• Key Validity
• Key Verification
• Key - High Level Categories

UX Flows

• Flows - Encryption
• Flows - Decryption
• Flows - Signatures

Icons

• PGP Signatures & Encryption States

But if you browse those repos, you will see skeleton of how many other states / aspects of public key crypto I think can be improved upon with better UX work. The specifics components relate to "PGP" keys, but could be used for any public key crypto interfaces (e.g. Signal, web browsers, etc...). Recently @mcginty (former Android dev of Signal) and I were talking about abstracting / expanding upon these ideas to general public key encryption.

Added a link to 'flows' and 'keys' repos. Leaving open as still needs more work.
