amit added a comment to T5607: Fingerprint signing fails with 'gpg: signing failed: No secret key'.

I'm not really sure which version it worked with earlier. This yubikey setup is quite old now, and I've not signed keys recently. I think the last I signed were at least 2 yrs back, hence the very vague allusion to the setup working previously. Apologies, no definite answer there.

Yes, for migration from GnuPG 2.0 reasons, a batch import delays the key checking (i.e. converting from OpenPGP to GnuPG internal format) to the first use. Thus you don't see an error immediately. But if you encrypt something , you won't be able to decrypt it again:

Some quick ideas: On Windows we have envvars (and APIs) to determine certain locations. There is also the registry. We use of all them. IT would be best to do this simalar on Unix. We also have a control file on Windows which switches to that portable mode; maybe it is best to do this also on Unix - A text file installed alongside gpg which gpg (common/homedir.c) uses to enable the use of certain envvars to locate the root etc..

One challenge of the AppImage is how to make gpg and its helpers use the helpers baked into the AppImage. Currently, everything is built with prefix /build/AppDir/usr. This causes

gpg: failed to start agent '/build/AppDir/usr/bin/gpg-agent': No such file or directory

unless gpg finds an already running agent.

werner added a comment to T5464: Failure to import Curve25519 ECDH secret subkey to the GnupG..

Right, as long as there is only one format in widespread use (based on a long existing 4880bis draft) only this format should go over the wire.
Thus, it is a matter how the key is exported. In cryptography you should never have several options - one clearly defined format is what you want. We have had enough trouble with PGP5 peculiarities but in that case their implementation had more users and thus GnuPG had to work around it. Not good, but there was no standard at all at this time.

@gniibe sorry for pinging, but this issue gets attention as TB users (with RNP OpenPGP backend) cannot import to GnuPG EdDSA secret key which was generated by RNP since it doesn't tweak bits when storing or exporting a secret key.
Should we update RNP to tweak those bits during storage to be more compatible (given that those bits doesn't make any difference)?

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.

Not to be bothersome, but why? DISPLAY seems like the universal method of selecting a display to put things on, where a lot of applications don't support --display or equivalent, especially now there's no equivalent for wayland. It's especially confusing to me when the keep-display option will pass DISPLAY instead of --display. This would also prevent other such scenarios with 3rd party qt/gtk plugins or alternative pinentry implementations.

Fix: "I Know so few about gnupg, thus I'm not sure I COULD add test cases, probably not. "

Hi,
The site now shows: "NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID" and I have a limited access to the web page.
Thanks for you explanation. However, I now so few about gnupg, thus I'm not sure I cannot add test cases, probably not. I'll see later if we have to provide on AIX a behavior different than the one of RedHat. Meanwhile, about your last proposal, yes it would be very useful to detect the case, print a warning, and skip the test. That would be helpful. Moreover, if the test deals with smartcards, we do not have on AIX, thus this test is very probably not useful in our environment.

The thing is that I added a test for a new function which uses standard curves of Libgcrypt. But here we are again at the RedHat mess: They support the NIST curves but they removed support for Brainpool curves. Both are very similiar curves just different parameters. Brainpool is just in Europe out of fear that the NIST curves are rigged by the the NSA. Now, why RedHat removed Brainpool is probably just a legal dept thing who didn't have a clue. The tin foil hats probably see a different reason.

  • a patch change within scd/apdu.c dealing with a call of: pcsc_connect() since code has changed between the 2 versions: may this be the cause of the failure? (Edited: hummm this patch seems no more required. And I have the same failure without it).

Supported curves should be listed by

gpg --list-config --with-colons curve

I am not sure about Fedora, but RedHat used to remove ECC support from Libgcrypt; GnuPG requires these curves. As long as you don't use ECC you things will work despite of this failed test. The test is new to check and does not anticipate a broken Libgcrypt.

Sorry, I think, it is more official to update from 把密钥导出到一个公钥服务器上 to 将密钥导出到一个公钥服务器上 in the Chinese doc scenario. 😄😄😄😄

Thank you Werner for fixing this! We just came across the group permission issue in a multi-user environment and all we had to do was to upgrade to gnupg >=2.2.24.
