* gpg: Remove all support for v3 keys and always create v4-signatures.Werner Koch2014-10-171-2/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * g10/build-packet.c (do_key): Remove support for building v3 keys. * g10/parse-packet.c (read_protected_v3_mpi): Remove. (parse_key): Remove support for v3-keys. Add dedicated warnings for v3-key packets. * g10/keyid.c (hash_public_key): Remove v3-key support. (keyid_from_pk): Ditto. (fingerprint_from_pk): Ditto. * g10/options.h (opt): Remove fields force_v3_sigs and force_v4_certs. * g10/gpg.c (cmd_and_opt_values): Remove oForceV3Sigs, oNoForceV3Sigs, oForceV4Certs, oNoForceV4Certs. (opts): Turn --force-v3-sigs, --no-force-v3-sigs, --force-v4-certs, --no-force-v4-certs int dummy options. (main): Remove setting of the force_v3_sigs force_v4_certs flags. * g10/revoke.c (gen_revoke, create_revocation): Always create v4 certs. * g10/sign.c (hash_uid): Remove support for v3-signatures (hash_sigversion_to_magic): Ditto. (only_old_style): Remove this v3-key function. (write_signature_packets): Remove support for creating v3-signatures. (sign_file): Ditto. (sign_symencrypt_file): Ditto. (clearsign_file): Ditto. Remove code to emit no Hash armor line if only v3-keys are used. (make_keysig_packet): Remove arg SIGVERSION and force using v4-signatures. Change all callers to not pass a value for this arg. Remove all v3-key related code. (update_keysig_packet): Remove v3-signature support. * g10/keyedit.c (sign_uids): Always create v4-signatures. * g10/textfilter.c (copy_clearsig_text): Remove arg pgp2mode and change caller. -- v3 keys are deprecated for about 15 years and due the severe weaknesses of MD5 it does not make any sense to keep code around to use these old and broken keys. Users who need to decrypt old messages should use gpg 1.4 and best re-encrypt them to modern standards. verification of old (i.e. PGP2) created signatures is thus also not anymore possible but such signatures have no values anyway - MD5 is just too broken. We have also kept support for v3 signatures until now. With the removal of support for v3 keys it is questionable whether it makes any sense to keep support for v3-signatures. What we do now is to keep support for verification of v3-signatures but we force the use of v4-signatures. The latter makes the --pgp6 and --pgp7 switch a bit obsolete because those PGP versions require v3-signatures for messages. These versions of PGP are also really old and not anymore maintained so they have not received any bug fixes and should not be used anyway. Signed-off-by: Werner Koch <[email protected]>

* gpg: Add build and runtime support for larger RSA keysDaniel Kahn Gillmor2014-10-101-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * configure.ac: Added --enable-large-secmem option. * g10/options.h: Add opt.flags.large_rsa. * g10/gpg.c: Contingent on configure option: adjust secmem size, add gpg --enable-large-rsa, bound to opt.flags.large_rsa. * g10/keygen.c: Adjust max RSA size based on opt.flags.large_rsa * doc/gpg.texi: Document --enable-large-rsa. -- This is a cherry-pick of 534e2876acc05f9f8d9b54c18511fe768d77dfb5 from STABLE-BRANCH-1-4 against master Some older implementations built and used RSA keys up to 16Kib, but the larger secret keys now fail when used by more recent GnuPG, due to secure memory limitations. Building with ./configure --enable-large-secmem will make gpg capable of working with those secret keys, as well as permitting the use of a new gpg option --enable-large-rsa, which let gpg generate RSA keys up to 8Kib when used with --batch --gen-key.

(openpgp_oid_to_curve): Downcase "ed25519" -- For ECC it seems to be better to show the name of the curve and not just the size of the prime field. The curve name does not anymore fit into the "<size><letter>" descriptor (e.g. "2048R") and a fixed length format does not work either. Thus the new format uses "rsa2048" - RSA with 2048 bit "elg1024" - Elgamal with 1024 bit "ed25519" - ECC using the curve Ed25519. "E_1.2.3.4" - ECC using the unsupported curve with OID "1.2.3.4". unless --legacy-list-mode is given. In does not anymore line up nicely in columns thus I expect further changes to this new format.
