Kleopatra: Optionally, allow encryption with invalid or expired certificates
Open, NormalPublic

Description

Kleopatra should allow the encryption with invalid (e.g. missing root certificate) or expired certificates.

Possible implementation:

  • add a checkbox "Lower Security" ("Sicherheit verringern") next to the disabled OK button
    • should only be displayed, if a forbidden cert (only invalid/expired, not revoked or disabled) is selected
    • tooltip should show more explanation for the implications (especially vs-nfd compliance)
    • if checked
      • the OK button should be re-enabled (which adds the "always-trust or ignore-expiration" flag; needs the latter flag implemented in gpg) -> T8195: Add option --ignore-expiration to gpg and gpgsm
      • on OK, an additional warning/confirmation dialog with an explanation of the implication should be displayed
  • add a registry setting flag to disable this checkbox (as some admins might not want to enable their users to do this)
