- added automatic cleaning of certificates in both formats - grouped all certificate cleaning/parsing code in rscertificate.cc - removed unused files cleanupxpgp.h/cc - added upper/lower case to rsid template. The new format is to be tested. It is supposed to be much more robust than the previous format, in particular, allowing any string for location names. git-svn-id: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/retroshare/code/trunk@5410 b45a01b8-16f6-495d-af2f-9b41ad6348cc
To use this branch:
chekcout the last version of openpgp SDK:
# svn co svn://openpgp.nominet.org.uk/openpgpsdk/tags/openpgpsdk-0.9 openpgpsdk
# cd openpgpsdk
# ./configure --without-idea
# make
For the moment, the compilation is not workign on ubuntu
Work to do
==========
Put a 'x' when done. 1,2,3 means started/ongoing/almost finished.
Compilation
00 [1] make sure the library compiles on linux
01 [ ] make sure the library compiles on windows
Project
02 [1] determine what's missing in OpenPGP-SDK
03 [3] make a separate layer in RS to handle PGP. AuthPGP is too close to libretroshare.
04 [1] write the new AuthGPG class
05 [ ] consider removing thread behaviour of AuthGPG
06 [ ] remove callback system and services from AuthGPG, since it's not useful anymore
07 [ ] make all RS use GPGIdType isntead of std::string.
Notes
=====
Questions to answer:
- do we rely on updates from openPGP-sdk ? Probably not. This code seems frozen.
- do we need an abstract layer for PGP handling in RS ?
- what new functionalities do we need in RS ?
* pgp keyring sharing/import/export
* identity import/export
Code struture
- replace current AuthGPG (virtual class) by a class named GPGHandler,
that is responsible for signing, checking signatures, encrypting etc.
- add a specific 8-bytes type for GPG Ids. Could be a uint64_t, or a
uchar[8]
