werner added a comment to T7381: gpg-mail-tube,gpg-wks-server: Allow the use of templates instead of static texts..

We do this now also for gpg-wks-server. Further gpg-wks-client now sends the current language to the server so that the server can get back to the user with a proper translated text (if configured).

Alright. We use utf-8 in our template files and switch to QP encoding when needed.

aheinecke added a comment to T7657: Kleopatra: Refresh OpenPGP Certificates doesn't respect WKD setting.

Just as a reminder, knowledge transfer, because this is easily overlooked in testing but at least one customer would have gotten very annoyed if we had ever deployed an "Update all certificates" function which "added" new certificates. Even with the update of a single cert, we had a "funny" issue, like if you had expired certificates from anywhere and not from WKD (which old keyrings have a lot, maybe with many uids). Suddenly an update would pull in new keys which come from WKD but maybe there they all only have one UID. Because for keyservers the identifier was the fingerprint and for WKD the identifier was the userid.
Or even worse, you explicitly threw out the OpenPGP keys from WKD because you wanted to use only S/MIME, then such a function may not search on any OpenPGP Sources.
When I worked at Kleopatra we didn't want such a feature in GnuPG. Our strategy was to update keys when they are used, about to be used or close to expiry. The whole locate-external-key thing.
I think the feature we had to update in the certificate details is good. But i recommend especially keeping the S/MIME / OpenPGP difference in mind. I would also call it "Search updated certificates" with a tooltip that it might also find "new" certificates for the user. And then an option to disable this either for S/MIME or for OpenPGP.

Tools / Refresh OpenPGP certificates runs gpg --refresh-keys. I don't think that this command knows anything about WKD.

dkg added a comment to T5993: gpg should reject compressed packets outside of messages.

For example Poppler uses GnuPG comment packets to lower its own attack surface by leaving all OpenPGP handling to gpg. The patch (or at least the version we noticed in Fedora and Debian) entirely breaks this use.

werner updated subscribers of T5993: gpg should reject compressed packets outside of messages.

No, we can't do much about this. It has always been easy to create compression bombs and the more relevant thing here is compressed signed or encrypted data. Or just compressed mails. The patch by @DemiMarie is way to complicated for what it wants to achieve and actually breaks existing use cases. For example Poppler uses GnuPG comment packets to lower its own attack surface by leaving all OpenPGP handling to gpg. The patch (or at least the version we noticed in Fedora and Debian) entirely breaks this use.

Werner strongly prefers to include it in the self-tests instead of adding a command to the drop-down list.

Well, see my very first comment.

  • We should make card-timeout work again
  • For OpenPGP cards we could extend our magic login data (scd/app-openpgp:parse_login_data) to introduce the timeout @gniibe suggested.

In any case, the actual connectivity test needs to be performed by GnuPG. Otherwise we might just test whether the Qt/KDE libraries can reach versions.gnupg.org, but not whether dirmngr can. Werner proposed something like gpg --fetch-key https://gnupg.org/index.html.
