Test on a dedicated Windows box (T 460, i5-6300U@2.40GHz, harddisk):

Overall effect of these changes tested on a small Windows VM is only 47 -> 26 seconds. Did also tests with --kbx-buffer-size but that does not make it better than the default, either.

works, the Root-CA of the above example is only shown once any more. Gpg4win-Beta-50

Will be available in 2.2.45 and 2.5.2

Now we are at 4 seconds. Available in master and 2.2.

With that patch we are down to about 6 seconds.

Did a quick manual test import and encryption/decryption with VS-Desktop-3.2.93.1-Beta with the relevant test-X509 certificate.
Works as expected.

I made a ticket on bugzilla with ready-made tests for S/MIME, but on close inspection a different structure appears for S/MIME and another for qualified signature (openssl could not verify token extracted from CAdES-BASELINE-T signature). However, these tests can be very useful.

FWIW, I received that mail but I hope that this bug is at least fixed with today's fix for T7213. Thus not re-opening.

This patch has a new fix for T5793 which is now only used where needed.

I don't think that we can do much manual testing here because we have all test cases anyway in the regression test suite and our local non-public regression tests (which has the p12 files we are not allowed to publish)

Alright. Done for master; backport will come soon.

The garbled data might be due to a bug in dumpasn1 (version 2021-02-12).

Can't find a mail - closing the ticket. Feel free to reopen or send me a mail to werner dot koch at gnupg.org but replace the org by com.

Yes, I think we should support this. Also X448. Thanks for the report and the samples.

Right. I think this task inherited the assignee from its parent task.

I've sent you an email about it. It might have html elements due to markdown-here.

Sorry, for not following up earlier. Can you please do me a favor and run the last tests again, this time adding -v and --debug 1 to the invocation? Feel free to forward the output to my private address is that is easier (wk at gnupg.org).

Way to old. Does anyone still uses CAcert?

The additional debug info are:

Could you write a quick patch file for that? (I don't have a working source build, I am using the Fedora spec file + patches)

The old debug output is in genral okay but what I would do is to add a couple of log_debug calls like

@werner I managed to recover the old .p12 that has the error. And this is still replicable. Is there a debug flag that would be useful or can we setup some private live-debugging for this?

I would have expected an error message right after

Unfortunately I have deleted the .p12 with the CA chain, and I don't know how I've generated it. It also contained my production certificates so, kinda sensitive to upload here.

Okay, I push the change for the extended salt size. Regarding the import of CA certificates, I have not seen any problems. In fact it is pretty common. Did you test with with 2.4.4. A test file would be helpful.

Ok, I have tried again the series of workarounds that I initially posted on the main description, and I managed to fix it by striping the CA certificates. So the current issues here are:

• Allocated salt is too small. https://dev.gnupg.org/T6757#182217 fixes for now
• Cannot import a .p12 that includes CA certificates as well

We got a bit further, not sure what debug level you want, guru I've found to be too excessive:

Can you please try this patch:

That is an old bug report with a couple of fixes introduced over the years. As of now we sometimes see hangs on Windows on our test VMs. The common cause here seems to be USB card reader issues. Let's close this bug and wait for another bug report with current software versions.

@werner I have just tested this, and although it fixed it for one certificate, this one in this issue still fails. Here is the new debug given

Openssl since version 3 supports aes-gcm and aria-gcm in cms. CMS has a different wrapper for AEAD. openssl Pull Request. I created test files (nistp384 key, certificates, messages), perhaps it will be useful.

Hidden for Gpg4win-4.3.0-beta571, too

Closing because we believe things are fixed and our test suite confirms that. Feel free to -reopen in case your own file does not import with 2.4.4.

The test file is now part of our test suite and passes.

We meanwhile have a lot of test cases in our test suite and we see no issue. Closing this bug; feel free to re-open if it is not fixed for your case in 2.4.4.

Interesting. I need to look closer at it. I scheduled it for 2.4 but it won't be in the forthcoming 2.4.4. There are still other interesting things on the short list (e.g. timestamping support) but we may do that only in 2.6.

Hope so too. If there was a docker image or something I would gladly test it, otherwise I'll report back as soon as a release is out

We can't test this but assume that the fix for T6752 is sufficient here.

Note that we now have also an option instead of the workaround from 2015

We were hoping before christmas. But it is unlikely due to some other stuff we had to do. Early Jan. Definitely a priority for us right now to get it out.

@werner Any news on when will 2.4.4 will land? I cannot figure out how to build the project from source, and I couldn't adapt the Fedora packaging to build it either. I would like to have a way to finally sign my git commits.

Checking if the key is not otherwise used is unrelated and should be a diifferent Task since this also relates to OpenPGP. For me this Task is about creating a similar API for gpgsm (--delete-secret-key) that we have for OpenPGP.

As it is so complicated to check all possibilities:

Searching by keygrip is actually fast with keyboxd.

Actually prio is rather low or even Wontfix. Since it has been this way forever and no one really complained. I think deleting secret keys esp. for S/MIME where you can't just create a testing key but need to have it signed by a CA is not really there.

I know I discussed this with werner several times and never really understood it because it makes for an inconsistent user interface / user experience. You delete an OpenPGP Secret key and then the keyfile is gone, you delete an S/MIME secret key and then the keyfile still exists. But it has been so forever T960
Maybe kleopatra should for the very rare cases where a key is used by multiple certificates do a search for the keygrip and warn if this also deletes the secret portion of another secret key? But that would then be also true for OpenPGP.

Fixed. This regression was introduced with the fix for T5697: Kleopatra: Crashes or hangs on circular certificate chains.

Which certificate list? The list in the main view? Or the certificate list of a smart card?

Thank you very much on behalf of our S/MIME users. This also makes it easier for us in the frontend to show a consistent UI.

Tested on Windows with Kleopatra and 2.2 and with gpgme and 2.4 on Unix.

Okay, I known do the same what we do for a single root certificate, that is mark it as "not trusted" ('n').

My very simple patch for this would be:

is now hidden in VS-Desktop-3.1.90.287-Beta
