* change ringedit:
- avoid all copy operations
- delete for update by changing the packet type to a
special unused packet. (export most know about this)
- do an append instead of an update or insert
- export may be used to compress a keyring.
- keep track of all offset in the trustbd and index them
by keyid.
- If the lookup does not find a public key block at the
stored offset disable this keyid.
- If the keyid was not found or is disabled, walk thru
the pubring.
- use ftruncate to recover from keyring errors.
maybe a new option to do this or simply mark the
wrong part as unused.
This makes signature checks and imports much faster; only keys
given by a userid or a fingerprint (RSA only) have to walk tru
the ring.
* There is a new memory leak in update-trustdb
* OpenBSD: dynamic loading with dlopen works on OpenBSD, but:
OpenBSD binaries are a.out, so every symbol begins with "_"
* use dld if we don't have dlopen.
* should we flush the getkey.c caches while doing an import?
* prefer a type 16 subkey for encryption because pgp cannot handle
type 20.
* calculation of marginals never yields a completely trusted key.
* The critical bit of signature subpackets is not yet supported; i.e.
it is ignored.
* Exportable Certification Flag is ignored
* write a tool to extract selected keys from a file.
* new menu to delete signatures and list signature in menu
* commandline controlled --edit-key with assumed save.
* -rdynamic auf Solaris Problem
* Replace the SIGUSR1 stuff by semaphores to avoid loss of a signal.
* add test cases for invalid data (scrambled armor or other random data)
* add some sanity checks to read_keyblock, so that we are sure that
the minimal requirements are met (?)
* decryption of message with multiple recipients does not work.
* preferences of hash algorithms are not yet used.
* rewrite --list-packets or put it into another tool.
* Burn the buffers used by fopen(), or use read(2). Does this
really make sense?
* Change the buffering to a mbuf like scheme? Need it for PSST anyway.
* add checking of armor trailers
* remove all "Fixmes"
* Change the internal represention of keyid into a struct which
can also hold the localid and extend the localid to hold information
of the subkey number because two subkeys may have the same keyid.
* add an option to re-create a public key from a secret key; we
can do this in trustdb.c:verify_own_keys.
* OpenBSD has sometimes problems reading from /dev/random.
* change the fake_data stuff to mpi_set_opaque
* Is it okay to use gettext for the help system?
* Add some stuff for DU cc
* use "passphrase" instead of "pass phrase"
* Use "user ID", "trustdb" and "WARNING".
