werner claimed T5596: Libgcrypt documentation: corrections to obvious misprints.

Sep 11 2021

werner added a comment to T1621: Support multiple cards (not just readers).

GnuPG stable (i.e. 2.3.2) has full support for several readers and tokens. This won't be backported to the LTS versions (2.2), though. Better switch.

werner edited projects for T5589: add context menu for normal operation after installation, added: gpg4win, FAQ, Installer; removed Feature Request.

This is a hard to solve problem in the NSIS installer: If you accidently started more than one installer they may both register files for update at the next restart. Now after the restart the file which is to be renamed does not anymore exist and thus a component or even library is not available. In this case it is GpgEX, the explorer plugin.

The major problem I see is that an implementation needs to add more crypto primitives to support ths curve. And we can expect that 448 will eventually get in widespread use. We already have all primitives but would inhibit the creation of minimal implementations.

I see that problem but gpg has traditionally not interpreted the passphrase in any way. Right, for Windows we could strip the CR but I fear that this might break other users scripts/passphrases. However there should be a warning in the manual.

gpg verifies the content of the file and not its meta data (file name). Thus an empty file is identical to a non-existing file. The OpenPGP protocol does not allow to distinguish between a detached signature and an embedded signature if you sign an empty file.
