Kleopatra: RSA-1024 is shown as "Unknown algorithm" in the certificate list
Testing, NormalPublic

Description

Although RSA-1024 keys should not be used any more and this is policy for a long time now, we should still display such keys in the certificate list with the correct algorithm info.

Please add "RSA 1024" to the list of known algorithms.
This shall only change the display and not anything in Kleopatras behavior.

We should show the original algorithm name instead of "Unknown algorithm" if we don't have a pretty name for it. This way we can show the Kyber algorithms without adding pretty names for them. T7397: Kleopatra: Support Kyber generation

Update: I have just changed this (for T7397).

Looks good to me on gpg4win-5.0.0-beta336 @ win10:

Notes (is this ok?):

  • Kyber algorithms display only their ecc part
  • secp256k1 probably not in the known algo list
  • Kyber algorithms display only their ecc part

We show the algorithm of the primary (sub)key in the certificate list and the primary (sub)key is a plain ECC key. You'll have to look at the subkeys. But Kleopatra does indeed lack nice algorithm names for ky768_bp256, ky1024_bp384, etc. -> separate issue

  • secp256k1 probably not in the known algo list

Curve secp256k1 is explicitly ignored by Kleopatra as much as possible.

Issue with pretty kyber names moved into: T7708.
Moving this to done.
