This patch implementes a chunk mode to pass the key parameters from
scdaemon to gpg. This allows to pass arbitrary long key paremeters;
it is used for keys larger than 3072 bit.
Note: the card key generation in gpg is currently broken. The keys
are generated but it is not possible to create the self-signature
because at that time the gpg-agent does not yet know about the new
keys and thus can't divert the sign request to the card. We either
need to run the learn command right after calling agent_scd_genkey or
implement a way to sign using the currently inserted card. Another
option would be to get rid of agent_scd_genkey and implement the
feature directly in agent_genkey.
The protection used in the exported key used a different iteration
count than given in the S2K field. Thus all OpenPGP keys exported
from GnuPG 2.1-beta can't be imported again. Given that the actual
secret key material is kept in private-keys-v1.d/ the can be
re-exported with this fixed version.
Using "gpgsm --genkey" allows the creation of a self-signed
certificate via a new prompt.
Using "gpgsm --genkey --batch" should allow the creation of arbitrary
certificates controlled by a parameter file. An example parameter file
is
Key-Type: RSA
Key-Length: 1024
Key-Grip: 2C50DC6101C10C9C643E315FE3EADCCBC24F4BEA
Key-Usage: sign, encrypt
Serial: random
Name-DN: CN=some test key
Name-Email: foo@example.org
Name-Email: bar@exmaple.org
Hash-Algo: SHA384
not-after: 2038-01-16 12:44
This creates a self-signed X.509 certificate using the key given by
the keygrip and using SHA-384 as hash algorithm. The keyword
signing-key can be used to sign the certificate with a different key.
See sm/certreggen.c for details.
Wrote the ChangeLog 2011-01-13 entry for Andrey's orginal work modulo
the cleanups I did in the last week. Adjusted my own ChangeLog
entries to be consistent with that entry.
Nuked quite some trailing spaces; again sorry for that, I will better
take care of not saving them in the future. "git diff -b" is useful
to read the actual changes ;-).
The ECC-INTEGRATION-2-1 branch can be closed now.
