What's New in PGPony

8.3.0

October 1, 2026

Post-quantum signatures. Create ML-DSA-65 + Ed25519 keys (RFC 9980), sign and verify with them, and add post-quantum subkeys to a key you already have, including the v4 shape GnuPG 2.5 reads. Several recipients. A message to two or more recipients that includes post-quantum keys now decrypts for every one of them. Before, it could fail to decrypt. NIST curves. P-256, P-384 and P-521 keys now encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify, not just import. Key Detail, reorganized. Actions now sit in a menu in the corner. Add, revoke or remove subkeys and User IDs, then upload the updated key to key servers from the same screen, with the primary identity kept the way you set it. Encrypting. Pick which subkey to encrypt to when a key has more than one, see which of your keys decrypted a message, and get a warning when a message mixes post-quantum and classic recipients. Key servers. Add your own key servers, and turn Web Key Directory lookups on or off. Files made with gpg -c --force-aead now decrypt. Security hardening. Stricter checks on keys and messages that come from outside, and tighter limits on what PGPony will read. Keys whose signatures this device cannot verify (some older DSA, brainpool and Ed448 keys) are now only updated when you re-import them yourself. If you write to someone with such a key, compare its fingerprint with them once. Thanks to the testers who sent sample files and step-by-step reports for this release.

Yubikey Support

I’ve been waiting forever for an iOS PGP app with Yubikey support. I finally found PGPony and I really like it for so much more than Yubikey. The design is nice and clean, well thought out. Bonus on top is native keygen support for newer ECC keys.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review. Hardware key support has been the main thread through the last few releases, so it is good to hear it landed for what you needed. If you run into anything or want something added, NorseHorse@norsehor.se comes straight to me.

Encryption Error keeps showing

When I first got the app, everything worked smooth during my tests..

Recently I tried to encrypt a message to a contact that I have encrypted to before and now it keeps saying error unsupported symmetric Id 10

But again it was working with the same contact a few days ago...

Not sure what changed but it doesn't work anymore

Response from developer

Thanks for the detail, especially the exact error text. It pointed straight at the cause. This isn't something you did, and it isn't your message. It's that contact's key. "Unsupported symmetric Id 10" means their encryption key now lists Twofish as one of its settings, and this build only accepts AES there, so it stops instead of guessing. It worked a few days ago because their key has changed since then, most likely a key update or refresh on their end. This is a bug on my side, and I've made a change that should let PGPony encrypt to that contact again in the next update. If you'd like to fully test it against that exact key before or after it ships, email me at NorseHorse@norsehor.se and I'll get you a build and confirm it works. Thanks again for reporting it so clearly. NorseHorse

Amazing so far

Works as great so far only issues I have had is the app crashing when decrypting files over 100mb
