This doesn't mean that IDEA will be used (the + plugin may not be present), but it does mean that a v3 key with a + v3 selfsig has an implicit IDEA preference instead of 3DES. v3 + keys with v4 selfsigs use preferences as normal. + + * encode.c (encode_crypt): if select_algo_from_prefs fails, this + means that we could not find a cipher that both keys like. Since + all v4 keys have an implicit 3DES preference, this means there is + a v3 key with a v3 selfsig in the list. Use 3DES in this case as + it is the safest option (we know the v4 key can handle it, and + we'll just hope the v3 key is being used in an implementation that + can handle it). If --pgp2 is on, warn the user what we're doing + since it'll probably break PGP2 compatibility. + + * g10.c (main): Do not force using IDEA for encrypted files in + --pgp2 mode - let the fake IDEA preference choose this for us for + better compatibility when encrypting to multiple keys, only some + of which are v3. + + * keygen.c (keygen_set_std_prefs): Put 3DES on the end of the + default cipher pref list (RFC2440: "...it is good form to place it + there explicitly."). If the user has the IDEA plugin installed, + put a preference for IDEA *after* 3DES to effectively disable its + use for everything except encrypting along with v3 keys. + + * encode.c, g10.c, sign.c: Change the PGP2 warning line from + "... will not be usable ..." to "... may not be usable ..." as the + user could be using one of the enhanced PGP2 variations. + + * helptext.c: Revise the sign_uid.class help text as suggested by + Stefan. + 2002-01-20 Werner Koch <[email protected]> * passphrase.c (passphrase_to_dek): Add tryagain_text arg to be |
