We have the --unwrap option which already does this. The problem here is that an addition compression layer is not removed. Therefore I will rename this report to add a feature strip things down to a signature or literal data packet..

The gpg-card is more flexible than the old gpg stuff. If there is something missing we will add it over time but it does not make sense to keep this request open.

Due to better working timeouts we have mostly soolved these problems,. Further keyservers are not anymore of great use these days.

We need more information on the why and when of this change. We don't want to maintain different versions of the same algorithm. The I-D expired more than 6 years ago and thus it should not be used as a reference.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-shen-sm2-ecdsa-02
Section 5.1.4.4

I'm slightly against a backport as this is a behavior change for example KMail and GpgOL which use the --sender option might get different results after this change. I don't think it would be problematic but as said I have a slight preference against backporting because changing behavior of existing calls is better something for the new major release which is in its final steps for release anyway.

Hi,
you can close this tickets, the Italian translation has already been uploaded successfully. Don't import anything to GnuPG. Thanks a lot!

No disagreement after more than a year, I think it’s fair to say that either everybody is fine with that feature being only present in the -qt, -tqt, -gtk, and -curses pinentries, or that nobody cares. :) Closing now, will be part of the upcoming pinentry-1.1.1.

Reading compressed point (in keys) is supported (except for NIST P-224). When curve point is represented in compressed format, it is correctly interpreted now. So, for example, I think that with 1.9.0, gpgsm can handle certificate which uses compressed format in its curve point representation.

What is the state of this bug? Reading is implemented - do we really need writing (maybe to support certain smartcards)?

I wrote https://github.com/rupor-github/win-gpg-agent to simplify usage on Windows until this issue is resolved - it handles various edge cases on Windows.

The C++, CL, Javascript and QT Bindings are all written by hand.

Hi Werner,

can you elaborate?

Given all the resources we had put on this Python bindings I'd suggest to bite the bullet and replace Swig by handcrafted bindings. More work but we do it for the other bindings as well.

I think we can close this one, right?

For the context of all subscribed parties I think Werner refers to what Hockeypuck is doing: https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2020-December/064441.html

Meanwhile there are simpler ideas and code on how to do only authenticated uploads. Thus lowering the prio.

Actually this isn't really a special case when you want to migrate your existing ssh keys to gpg and import them. As stated in this guide https://opensource.com/article/19/4/gpg-subkeys-ssh-multiples, what you need to do currently is export the master key with its private keys, delete the imported ssh key from your keyring and then import your private keys again.

Werner, please retest. If "Change Reset Code" still doesn't work for you, then please answer the questions in the first comment.

Note: Officially, Kleopatra does not support OpenPGP v1 cards. At least, according to the text that is displayed if no card is found.

"Change Reset Code" should work in Kleopatra. At least for OpenPGP v2+ cards. Kleopatra simply does "SCD PASSWD --reset OPENPGP.2", i.e. the same as gpg-card. I have verified that it works with a Yubikey.

If your problem is the incompatibility between standard OpenSSH (server) and PKIXSSH (client) for use of ssh-agent emulation of gpg-agent with ECDSA key, I'd suggest to apply following patch to your PKIXSSH:

diff --git a/compat.c b/compat.c
index fe71951..0c9b1ef 100644
--- a/compat.c
+++ b/compat.c
@@ -245,7 +245,6 @@ xkey_compatibility(const char *remote_version) {
 {	static sshx_compatibility info[] = {
 		{ 0, "OpenSSH*PKIX[??.*" /* 10.+ first correct */ },
 		{ 0, "OpenSSH*PKIX[X.*" /* developlement */ },
-		{ 1, "OpenSSH*" /* PKIX pre 10.0 */ },
 		{ 1, "SecureNetTerm-3.1" /* same as PKIX pre 10.0 */},
 		{ 0, NULL } };
 	p = xkey_compatibility_find(remote_version, info);

Unfortunately and confusingly, PKISSH returns "OpenSSH" when asked by "ssh -V".
Please install real OpenSSH, if this is the case for you.

Quote from IRC:
hey, i've some problems with my smartcard since quite some time. i'm not sure whether it's openssh related or gnupg. it's a openpgpcard v2.0 and i have to workaround ssh logins by using "SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 ssh ...". .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf -

Yeah but it seems to be the same issue / reason. I wasn't aware that PKISSH is something else. I thought it was an extension/protocol or something

I added "Feature Request", because this is a request to support:

• A feature of bug compatibility, which is implemented wrongly in PKISSH
• for a specific algo of key, which is not considered so useful (== ECDSA)
• PKISSH, which is variant of OpenSSH

I do not think that we should support a fork of openssh right now. If we would support it we are bound to maintain that for years - this is not a good idea.

Well, I have no idea about the technical background to be honest but without this patch it doesn't work at all for me, unless I stop using the agent or workaround it by using SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0. With this patch, I can use the agent again. I don't know how many others are affected by this but it made it usable again, which wasn't the case for months already.

In theory, I don't think the patch gnupg.patch works. It just ignore the flag.

Report on some testing using master:

I am affected by the same bug and the patch seems to work for me. Login via gpg-agent with ssh support is possible again, which wasn't before, since some openssh and/or gnupg update. Not sure.

And I also did a backport to 2.2 :-) See rGa028f24136a062f55408a5fec84c6d31201b2143

Thank you for all the work! Does it mean that, if I am running master, it is now possible to have a setup where the same encryption key is shared by and usable from multiple smart cards?

For linking the MSI installer we already need a windows host and a windows sign host. The binaries inside that package we also sign usign the signhost / signkey which can be included in an optional / custom sign.mk during the build process. By default the path to the included sign.mk is gnupg-vsd/sign.mk in the src repo. But that can be changed of course.

Done.

Okay, I usually only keep hitting crl+w in that case. But I see the point when doing imports this can be annoying.

You are right, the new 3.4 cards support brainpool curves in addition to the nist curves.

If you mean OpenPGP Card v3 standard, no it did not support cv25519 ed25519, but some other curves up until v3.4. So if there is a specific specification bringing this feature, can you might refer to the specific version? Otherwise, I think this task is still valid.
I remember the problem being the card manufacturers that are not interesting in cv25519 (yet).

Support was added in version 3 card.

As for renaming "Change Reset Code" to "Set Reset Code", what about "Change PIN" and "Change Admin PIN"? Should they also be renamed? If not, why not? Is there no default reset code? Is there a way to find out whether the reset code has already been set (in which case "change" would be more appropriate than "set")?

You write

This does not work.

Can you be more specific? What doesn't work? Which OS, which version of Kleopatra, what smartcard are you using?

I though about this too but we need to take care about the logging functions of Libgcrypt which are intertwined with nPth (clamp function of libgpg-error).
