Note that that Beta uses a 64 bit Kleopatra but the GnuPG engine was accidentally build for 32 bit. This will be fixed with the next Beta. That might increase the confusion a bit.

All applied.

Backported for VSD 3.3

GpgEX requires/uses Kleopatra so that only GnuPG would be left if you could deselect Kleopatra. And that's exactly what the simple installer installs because the simple installer is included in the Gpg4win installer.

FYI usually these are my install options:

No problem. I can stay on 4.4.x. Just thought I should give the beta a try and let you guys know.

Thanks for your feedback. Maybe the "minimal" install is missing a file. It's a beta version for a reason. We'll make sure to fix it for the stable release.

This is ok in VS-Desktop-3.2.94.474-Beta but in the EN version the SecOPs are missing because of a missing file during build.
-> Check again with the next build

it would be best to add an API to gpgrt to iterate over registry entries.

None. I just use the command line tools and always perform a "minimal" install. @aheinecke: I already tested it on cmd.exe. Same result. Also I do not have QT installed, or a QT_PLUGIN_PATH set up. The bottom line for me is still:

Change the encryption code to only allow 256 bit session keys with Kyber regardless of the preferences, iff --require-pqc-encryption is set. […] We could as well also encforce AES-256 also without that option.

What if we encrypt to several recipients, only some of them having a Kyber encryption key? Should we still enforce AES-256 in that case regardless of the preferences, and assume that by now everybody should support AES-256?

Love it! I think I am going to use “post-heffalump crypto” from now on. :D

But keep https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/heffalump_crypto.pdf in mind ;-)

I wrote it with PQC security level in mind which requires AES256 for the session key as well.

That is what I expected. Meanwhile I re-read the code and history and can tell that the comment is not correct. I wrote it with PQC security level in mind which requires AES256 for the session key as well. However, during the migration phase and as long as --require-pqc-encryption is not enable we should allow an AES-128 session key. This is for the rare case that encryption is also done for non pqc keys which don't have the AES-256 capability set.

Here you are:

At gnupg/g10/pubkey-enc.c you will find

I have replaced the expiring test key with a new non-expiring test key.

@ikloecker: Do you still have the private key for tests/json/key-with-revokers.asc somewhere? We need to remove the expiration date due to T7471.

This looks like a bug with gnutls which is the only tool that fails :
