Kleopatra: Paperkey can't handle curve448/kyber keys
Open, NormalPublic
Actions

Description

On export of a curve448 key paperkey aborts with exitcode 1:

$ paperkey -vv --secret-key curve448.sec --output curve448.txt
Found packet of type 5, length 186
$ echo $?
1

Paperkey also can't properly handle kyber keys. Export seems to work (it generates the file), but it errors on import:

Failed to restore any secret keys.

This seems to be a good opportunity to replace paperkey with a new tool to take advantage of the smaller ECC keys which allow us to re-generate most stuff.
