As specified in openpgp-crypto-refresh-09.
Instead of encoding the symmetric key algorithm in the PKESK ciphertext (requiring padding),
the symmetric key algorithm is left unencrypted.

Such keys are still capable of encryption and signature verification.
This change is relevant for forward compatibility of v4 keys encrypted using e.g. argon2.
Previously, `verifyAllUsers` would fail on keys with User Attributes.
Now, it returns a list of objects that have a either a non-null `userID`
property (in the case of User IDs) or a non-null `userAttribute`
property that contains the User Attribute packet.

This config option allows parsing additional packet types when parsing
a packet list or armored object, in contexts where they are normally
not expected to appear, by passing a list of packet classes
(e.g. `additionalAllowedPackets: [PublicKeyPacket]`).
Most rules are derived from the `airbnb` template.
Some "bad" rule exceptions remain, but they require too many changes to fix, so
we leave it to a future refactoring.
Since we don't interpret these notations, it is up to the caller
to handle them, and thus also to decide whether they are "known".
If they are marked as critical, and aren't handled by the caller,
we should consider the signature unverified.
Assign most signature subpacket types a criticality based on whether
failing to interpret their meaning would negatively impact security.
For Notation Data subpackets, let the user indicate their criticality
using the `signatureNotations[*].critical` property.
The changes do not affect the public API:
`RandomBuffer` was used internally for secure randomness generation before
`crypto.getRandomValues` was made available to WebWorkers, requiring
generating randomness in the main thread.
As a result of the change, the internal `getRandomBytes()` and some functions
that use it are no longer async.
Move the Issuer, Issuer Fingerprint, and Embedded Signature subpackets
to the hashed subpackets for new signatures. While we allow these to be
unhashed, it's safer to hash them, and this simplifies the code as well.
When re-serializing a signature packet, don't add Issuer, Issuer
Fingerprint, and Embedded Signature subpackets to the unhashed
subpackets if they weren't already there.
Also, store all unhashed subpackets in `signature.unhashedSubpackets`,
not just the "disallowed" ones.
Signing a `CleartextMessage` containing trailing whitespace and \r\n line
endings (as opposed to \n) would result in an unverifiable signature. The issue
seems to have been present since v3.0.9 . These broken signatures were
unverifiable even in the OpenPGP.js version(s) that generated them.
Recent Node.js seems to have dropped support for ripemd160.
Thus, properly check the availability of hashes before using them.
Also, add Node.js 18 to CI.
Calling `openpgp.decrypt` with a message that contains encrypted session keys
followed by a non-encrypted packet (e.g. Literal or Compressed Data packet)
used to succeed, even if a wrong passphrase/key was provided.
With this change, the operation will always fail, and the user is warned that
the data was not encrypted.
NB: a message that did not contain any encrypted session key packet would fail
to decrypt even prior to this change.
The relevant packets will be considered unsupported instead of malformed.
Hence, parsing them will succeed by default (based on
`config.ignoreUnsupportedPackets`).
When parsing errors are being ignored, packets that fail to parse are now
included in the resulting packet list as `UnparseablePacket`s . This way, when
parsing keys that contain unparsable (sub)key, we avoid associating the
following non-key packets to the wrong key entity.
On serialization, `UnparseablePacket`s are also included by writing their raw
packet body as it was read.
Breaking change: `openpgp.encryptKey` now throws if an empty string is given as
passphrase. The operation used to succeed, but the resulting key was left in an
inconsistent state, and e.g. serialization would not be possible.
Non-breaking changes:
- `options.passphrase` in `generateKey` and `reformatKey` now defaults to
`undefined` instead of empty string. Passing an empty string does not throw for
now, but this might change in the future to align with `encryptKey`'s
behaviour.
- In TS, add `GenerateKeyOptions` as alias of `KeyOptions`, to clarify its
scope.
In browsers, encryption of messages larger than 3MB (or a custom value
based on `config.minBytesForWebCrypto`) would throw the error `Error encrypting
message: 'crypto.getCipher' is not a function`.
The issue was introduced in v5.1 .
Implement optional constant-time decryption flow to hinder Bleichenbacher-like
attacks against RSA- and ElGamal public-key encrypted session keys.
Changes:
- Add `config.constantTimePKCS1Decryption` to enable the constant-time
processing (defaults to `false`). The constant-time option is off by default
since it has measurable performance impact on message decryption, and it is
only helpful in specific application scenarios (more info below).
- Add `config.constantTimePKCS1DecryptionSupportedSymmetricAlgorithms`
(defaults to the AES algorithms). The set of supported ciphers is restricted by
default since the number of algorithms negatively affects performance.
Bleichenbacher-like attacks are of concern for applications where both of the
following conditions are met:
1. new/incoming messages are automatically decrypted (without user
interaction);
2. an attacker can determine how long it takes to decrypt each message (e.g.
due to decryption errors being logged remotely).
Breaking change:
when generating new subkeys through `key.addSubkey()`, we now check
`config.rejectCurves` and prevent adding subkeys using the corresponding
curves.
By default, `config.rejectCurves` includes the brainpool curves
(`brainpoolP256r1`, `brainpoolP384r1`, `brainpoolP512r1`) and the Bitcoin curve
(`secp256k1`).
This is a follow up to #1395 , which introduced the same check to
`openpgp.generateKey`.
In several packet classes, we used to store string identifiers for public-key,
aead, cipher or hash algorithms. To make the code consistent and to avoid
having to convert to/from string values, we now always store integer values
instead, e.g. `enums.symmetric.aes128` is used instead of `'aes128'`.
This is not expected to be a breaking change for most library users. Note that
the type of `Key.getAlgorithmInfo()` and of the session key objects returned
and accepted by top-level functions remain unchanged.
Affected classes (type changes for some properties and method's arguments):
- `PublicKeyPacket`, `PublicSubkeyPacket`, `SecretKeyPacket`,
`SecretSubkeyPacket`
- `SymEncryptedIntegrityProtectedDataPacket`, `AEADEncryptedDataPacket`,
`SymmetricallyEncryptedDataPacket`
- `LiteralDataPacket`, `CompressedDataPacket`
- `PublicKeyEncryptedSessionKey`, `SymEncryptedSessionKeyPacket`
- `SignaturePacket`
Other potentially breaking changes:
- Removed property `AEADEncryptedDataPacket.aeadAlgo`, since it was redudant
given `.aeadAlgorithm`.
- Renamed `AEADEncryptedDataPacket.cipherAlgo` -> `.cipherAlgorithm`
