2019-11-28kbx: Redefine the UBID which is now the primary fingerprint.Werner Koch1-12/+22
* common/util.h (UBID_LEN): New. Use it at all places. * kbx/keybox-blob.c (create_blob_finish): Do not write the UBID item. * kbx/keybox-dump.c (print_ubib): Remove. (_keybox_dump_blob): Do not print the now removed ubid flag. * kbx/keybox-search-desc.h (struct keydb_search_desc): Use constants for the size of the ubid and grip. * kbx/keybox-search.c (blob_cmp_ubid): New. (has_ubid): Make it a simple wrapper around blob_cmp_ubid. (keybox_get_data): Add arg 'r_ubid'. * kbx/frontend.h (enum kbxd_store_modes): New. * kbx/kbxserver.c (cmd_store): Add new option --insert. * kbx/backend-cache.c (be_cache_initialize): New. (be_cache_add_resource): Call it here. * kbx/backend-kbx.c (be_kbx_seek): Remove args 'fpr' and 'fprlen'. (be_kbx_search): Get the UBID from keybox_get_data. * kbx/backend-support.c (be_fingerprint_from_blob): Replace by ... (be_ubid_from_blob): new. Change all callers. * kbx/frontend.c (kbxd_add_resource): Temporary disable the cache but use the new cache init function. (kbxd_store): Replace arg 'only_update' by 'mode'. Seek using the ubid. Take care of the mode. -- It turned out that using the hash of the entire blob was not helpful. Thus we redefine the Unique-Blob-ID (UBID) as the primary fingerprint of the blob. In case this is a v5 OpenPGP key a left truncated version of the SHA-256 hash is used; in all other cases the full SHA-1 hash. Using a SHA-256 hash does not make sense because v4 keys are and will for some time be the majority of keys and thus padding them with zeroes won't make any difference. Even if fingerprint collisions can eventually be created we will assume that the keys are bogus and that it does not make sense to store its twin also in our key storage. We can also easily extend the update code to detect a collision and reject the update. Signed-off-by: Werner Koch <[email protected]>

2019-09-27kbx: First take on a cache for the keyboxd.Werner Koch1-0/+1167
* kbx/backend.h (enum database_types): Add DB_TYPE_CACHE. (struct db_request_part_s): Add seqno fields. (struct db_request_s): Add infos for the cache backend. * kbx/backend-support.c (struct backend_handle_s): Add 'backend_id'. (strdbtype): Support DB_TYPE_CACHE. (be_generic_release_backend): Ditto. (be_find_request_part): New. (be_return_pubkey): New arg UBID and chnage status name. * kbx/backend-cache.c: New. * kbx/backend-kbx.c (be_kbx_init_request_part): New. (be_kbx_search): Factor some code out to a support function. (be_kbx_seek): New. * kbx/frontend.c (kbxd_add_resource): Support DB_TYPE_CACHE. (kbxd_search): Support the NEXR operation with the cache. * kbx/keybox-search-desc.h (KEYDB_SEARCH_MODE_UBID): New. (struct keydb_search_desc): Add field u.ubid. * kbx/keybox-search.c (has_ubid): New. (keybox_search): Support the UBID search. -- This adds a caching backend to the keyboxd. This tries to accommodate for duplicate use of fingerprints and thus be correct in case a fingerprint is used in several keys. It also turned out that we need to have a unique identifier (UBID) to identify a keyblock or X.509 certificate. In particular with an OpenPGP keyblob we can't easily use the primary fingerprint as an identifier because that fingerprint may also be used as subkey in another key. Thus using a hash of the entire keyblock is a better identifier to be used to address a keyblock for restarting a search or for identifying the keyblock to be updated. Note that this new UBID is not a permanent identifier because it changes with all keyblock update; it should be viewed as a handle to the keyblock or X509 cert.
