werner added a comment to T4538: Support PSS signed CRLs.

Interesting tinge: The main CRL of the dgn.de CA uses a nextUpdate in the year 2034 (15 years in the future) which would force dirmngr to cache the CRL until then. However, the CRL of the intermediate certificate has a nextUpdate only one month in the future. There is currently no entry in that second level CRL, so their idea might be that an updated second level CRL will also trigger a reload of the main CRL. I have not checked how we implement that in Dirmngr but I doubt that such a thing will work for us and that it is in any way standard compliant.

werner closed T3065: dirmngr: proxy issues with dnslookup causing failure as Wontfix.

I explained why the keyserver access requires access to the DNS. If that is not possible the keyserver code will not work. If you don't allow DNS to work you either have to use Tor (which we use to also tunnel DNS requests) or get your keys from elsewhere. Also note that the keyserver network is current several broken and under DoS and thus it is unlikely that it can be operated in the future.

You need to update the public key and convey it to the sender. This will solve the problems. You should also ask the sender to update their software so that an MDC is always used regardless of the flag.

werner added a comment to T4533: Could not decrypt the data: Data is not integrity protected. Decrypting it could be a security problem. (no MDC).

Do you know which software the sender uses for encryption? That software may simply ignore the preferences or the sender also encrypts to a legacy key using a software which does not force the use of an MDC. Sometimes keys are generated with gpg but used with other software - without updating the preferences of the keys.

werner added a comment to T4534: gcry_sexp_canon_len() documentation claims that valid S-expressions will never return 0, but it returns 0 if an empty string is found in a valid S-expression.

I don't see why the documentation needs to be fixed. gcry_sexp_canon_len returns 0 for certain and s-expressions, meaning tha the s-expression is not valid. After all the s-expression code in libgcrypt does not claim to be a general purpose parser for s-expression but is targeted towards Libgcrypt needs.

werner closed T4273: agent: Request insertion of smartcard when no card present as Resolved.

The behaviour related to ssh key access is due to the way ssh works: After a connection has been established to a server ssh presents to to the server all identities (public keys) it has access to (meaning it has a corresponding private key). Thus we can't tell ssh all the keys we have because that would be an information leak and may also take too long. Because the user may in some cases not want to use the ssh-agent but resort to ssh command line input of the passphrase, we do not insist on using a key known by gpg-agent.
