gniibe closed T5931: OpenSSH 8.9, 9.0, and 9.1 can't authenticate with gpg-agent and usb token (Gnuk >= 1.2.16 is required) as Resolved.

Closed, since this was documentation for the workaround, four years ago.

werner added a comment to T5931: OpenSSH 8.9, 9.0, and 9.1 can't authenticate with gpg-agent and usb token (Gnuk >= 1.2.16 is required).

Just a reminder: with Gnuk 1.2.15 and an ed25519 key PubkeyAuthentication unbound is required for hosts using the new feature.

Updates for projects' scripts related to GnuPG for building from source may be needed; So it is at least for libgcrypt; illustration (output filtered):

bernhard added a comment to T7271: clarify tar format of gpgtar in documentation.

Because a user in https://mstdn.social/deck/@GnuPG/113011825339406300 did read the documentation, I had a look in the documentation and in other public definitions (e.g. https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Formats.html#Formats) and I can understand the questions of the user.

werner closed T7271: clarify tar format of gpgtar in documentation as Resolved.

gpgtar is compatible to PGP Desktop's format which they call ZIP. This is technically ustar with the most common extensions. Don't let us go into yet another TAR format discussion.

aheinecke updated subscribers of T7238: Security consideration with group folders in gpgpass.

Well, my hope for this was some kind of Format where we keep the keys + the signature together with encrypted files. Because I think it is an extremely common usecase to decrypt a file, modify it and then to reencrypt it to the recipients that it was encrypted to before and I think it would be a good usability improvement if after decryption, when a file is then encrypted again Kleopatra would have the recipient dialog prefilled with the original recipients. T6564: Kleopatra: Re-encrypt an encrypted folder to the original recpients And for Gpgpass this could be used in exactly the same manner just with a diffrent UI and focused on folders with multiple files.

CarlSchwan added a comment to T7238: Security consideration with group folders in gpgpass.

I am not sure I like every aspect of passtore.sh (e.g. the YAML configuration files and yet another group concept where we probably could reuse Kleopatra groups), but it's good to know that there is already a solution for this issue :)

aheinecke added a comment to T7238: Security consideration with group folders in gpgpass.

Using signed files would have been my suggestion, too. For me I would say that "allowed to sign" depends on the ownertrust of the signature certificate. If the ownertrust of the certificate is Ultimate then you can accept the recipient list. Ultimate ownertrust is given for your own keys or for the ones marked with trusted-key in the GnuPG configuration.

Is a solution to this problem by an organization using pass for a log time with quite some users.

dkg added a comment to T7209: gpgv(1) manpage is ambiguous about argument list.

Interesting. i'm also not sure this is a good feature. I also still don't think the gpgv man page explains this clearly, but if you don't want to clarify it, i won't bother re-opening this issue.

All given data files are concatenated; not sure whether this is a good feature but iirc pgp 2 did it the same way.

TobiasFella added a comment to T7182: Draft: Kleopatra: Improve Certificate Tooltips in Certificate view.

For the certificate list it might make sense to have column-specific tool tips, e.g. to give details on "not certified" in the "User IDs" column. For the fingerprint column (just to pick one example) a tool tip makes little sense.

ikloecker added a comment to T7182: Draft: Kleopatra: Improve Certificate Tooltips in Certificate view.

In general, I question the usefulness of the tool tip for the certificate list. The information in the table is already very detailed and for more details there's the details view. Important information that's missing in the table shouldn't be hidden in the tool tip.

werner closed T6999: Are you aware of implementations which would generate signatures with 0x0001 lbits in signature? as Resolved.

No, I am not aware. I can't remember whether PGP once had such a bug because @dshaw did most cross-testing and fixing for PGP bugs. I would suggest to remove any such checks. IIRC, this was introduced by PGP 2 to speed up signature checking. 30 years ago RSA operations were quite expensive.

werner closed T6981: Not VS-NfD compliant as Resolved.

VS-NfD is not a standard but a classification for restricted data. Software used to convey such material needs an official approval and is bound to certain organizational requirements. That is what "VS-NfD konform" says. The community version of gpg4win does not have this approval despite that it is technically the same code as the approved GnuPG VS-Desktop.

gniibe claimed T6810: gpgv: missing entry in "FILES" section in gpgv.texi.

To align the documentation of GnuPG, we should not use GNUPGHOME in FILES section.
It may be controlled by --homedir as well as GNUPGHOME.
GNUPGHOME is addressed in the ENVIRONMENT section, so, I don't think it makes sense using $GNUPGHOME}/trustedkeys.kbx.

Your tools don't use the chain validation model which is required for QES (at least according to German laws). A signature is still valid even if the certificate has been revoked. You need to consider the context and the time the certificate was revoked.
