* For packet version 3 we calculate the keyids this way:
RSA := low 64 bits of n
1998-01-12 11:18:17 +01:00
ELGAMAL := build a v3 pubkey packet (with CTB 0x99) and calculate
a rmd160 hash value from it. This is used as the
fingerprint and the low 64 bits are the keyid.

Layout of the TrustDB
=====================
1998-01-25 19:56:33 +01:00
FIXME: use a directory record as top node instead of the pubkey record
1998-01-12 11:18:17 +01:00
The TrustDB is build from fixed length records, where the first bytes
describes the record type. All numeric values are stored in network
byte order. The length of each record is 40 bytes. The first record of
the DB is always of type 1 and this is the only record of this type.
Record type 0:
--------------
Unused record, can be reused for any purpose.
Record type 1:
--------------
Version information for this TrustDB. This is always the first
record of the DB and the onyl one with type 1.
1 byte value 1
3 bytes 'g10' magic value
1 byte Version of the TrustDB
3 byte reserved
1 u32 locked by (pid) 0 = not locked.
1 u32 timestamp of trustdb creation
1 u32 timestamp of last modification
1 u32 timestamp of last validation
(Used to keep track of the time, when this TrustDB was checked
against the pubring)
1998-01-31 22:21:22 +01:00
1 u32 reserved
1998-01-12 11:18:17 +01:00
1 byte marginals needed
1 byte completes needed
1 byte max. cert depth
If any of this 3 values are changed, all cache records
muts be invalidated.
9 bytes reserved
1998-01-31 22:21:22 +01:00
Record type 2: (directory record)
1998-01-12 11:18:17 +01:00
--------------
Informations about a public key certificate.
1998-01-13 20:04:23 +01:00
These are static values which are never changed without user interaction.
1998-01-12 11:18:17 +01:00
1 byte value 2
1 byte reserved
1998-01-31 22:21:22 +01:00
8 bytes keyid (We keep it here to speed up searching by keyid)
1 u32 Local-Id. This is simply the record number of this record.
1 u32 pubkey (record number of it)
1 u32 cache record
1 u32 sigrecord
1 byte No signatures flag (used to avoid duplicate building).
13 byte reserved
Record type 3:
--------------
Informations about a public key certificate.
These are static values which are never changed without user interaction.
1 byte value 3
1 byte reserved
1 u32 owner This is used to bind all records for
1998-01-12 11:18:17 +01:00
a given certificate together. It is valid only in this TrustDB
and usefull if we have duplicate keyids
1998-01-31 22:21:22 +01:00
It points back to the directory node.
1998-01-12 11:18:17 +01:00
1 byte pubkey algorithm
1 byte reserved
20 bytes fingerprint of the public key
1 byte ownertrust:

3 byte reserved
Record type 4: (cache record)
1998-01-12 11:18:17 +01:00
--------------
Used to bind the trustDB to the concrete instance of keyblock in
a pubring. This is used to cache informations.
1998-01-31 22:21:22 +01:00
1 byte value 4
1998-01-12 11:18:17 +01:00
1 byte reserved
1 u32 Local-Id.
1998-01-14 13:34:05 +01:00
8 bytes keyid of the primary key (needed?)
1998-01-12 11:18:17 +01:00
1 byte cache-is-valid the following stuff is only
valid if this is set.
1 byte reserved
20 bytes rmd160 hash value over the complete keyblock
This is used to detect any changes of the keyblock with all
CTBs and lengths headers. Calculation is easy if the keyblock
is optained from a keyserved: simply create the hash from all
received data bytes.
1 byte number of untrusted signatures.
1 byte number of marginal trusted signatures.
1 byte number of fully trusted signatures.
(255 is stored for all values greater than 254)
1 byte Trustlevel
0 = undefined (not calculated)
1 = unknown
2 = not trusted
3 = marginally trusted
4 = fully trusted
5 = ultimately trusted (have secret key too).
1998-01-31 22:21:22 +01:00
Record type 5 (sigrec)
1998-01-14 13:34:05 +01:00
-------------
Used to keep track of valid key signatures. Self-signatures are not
stored.

last sigrec.
