Cool. Works for me now.

rG62b8bf2f introduced the regression. The intent of the fix was about comparison of -----END , which has nine characters.
But it also added afx->buffer_pos ==1, that affected.

Using --enarmor and removing the checksum I sometimes get

AFAICS all conditions are protected by isascii(3) which

Current state in gpg4win-5.0.0:

It seems this broke the self tests (and gpgme, and notmuch) on NetBSD: https://dev.gnupg.org/T8065

This is a security update

@werner I added an implementation https://dev.gnupg.org/D622
that matches Linux behavior and avoids the message about secure memory not being supported on Windows. The change is scoped to the pinentry tool and intentionally follows Linux behavior. Does this approach look reasonable to you?

I think "O" is a better key:

We need to change the accelerator. Right now gpg-agent uses

I don't think that we will implement that any time soon. Today we too often require more mlock-able memory than available and in this case Libgcrypt resorts to allocating new memory arenas which are not locked. This is not as worse as one might think: the majro advantage with secmem is that a free() on secmem allocated memory will also wipe that memory. A better solution has always been to use an encrypted swap/paging file. 25 years ago, it was not easy to configure but today there should be no problem and hopefully already the default.

While key generation works now with an expiry date up to 2106-02-04, the representation on the command line is a bit ugly.

On 2026-01-20, I found the message to security@gnupg.org of:
Message-ID: 4e708880-04ac-45bc-8d16-6b585f2652a1n@aisle.com
in may spam folder. It has a 10MB long attachment. That might be one of reasons to be identified as a spam.

Considering the current implementation (tpm2d doesn't support keyinfo like scdaemon), it would be good to check the buffer size.
(If key information is accessible easily, we can check with a specific key.)

Looks good to me on gpg4win-5.0.0 @ win11. Tested with 20 starts of each combination:

• with / without keyboxd
• quitting kleopatra / killing all processes

I think this has been resolved in Gpg4win 5.

Will be in the next release.

it does not make sense to have a workboard item for this parent ticket.
