From 8a12a2000d82acfa881e8c18d028290100bf5e43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Werner Koch Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2011 16:15:15 +0100 Subject: gpgsm: Add new validation model "steed". * sm/gpgsm.h (VALIDATE_FLAG_STEED): New. * sm/gpgsm.c (gpgsm_parse_validation_model): Add model "steed". * sm/server.c (option_handler): Allow validation model "steed". * sm/certlist.c (gpgsm_cert_has_well_known_private_key): New. * sm/certchain.c (do_validate_chain): Handle the well-known-private-key attribute. Support the "steed" model. (gpgsm_validate_chain): Ditto. * sm/verify.c (gpgsm_verify): Return "steed" in the trust status line. * sm/keylist.c (list_cert_colon): Print the new 'w' flag. -- This is the first part of changes to implement the STEED proposal as described at http://g10code.com/steed.html . The idea for X.509 is not to use plain self-signed certificates but certificates signed by a dummy CA (i.e. one for which the private key is known). Having a single CA as an indication for the use of STEED might help other X.509 implementations to implement STEED. --- doc/gpgsm.texi | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/gpgsm.texi') diff --git a/doc/gpgsm.texi b/doc/gpgsm.texi index 8e25baf62..bdb03783e 100644 --- a/doc/gpgsm.texi +++ b/doc/gpgsm.texi @@ -451,10 +451,11 @@ address and the time when you verified the signature. @item --validation-model @var{name} @opindex validation-model This option changes the default validation model.
