Breaking changes:
- throw error on key generation if the requested public key algorithm is
included in `config.rejectPublicKeyAlgorithms`;
- add `config.rejectCurves` to blacklist a set of ECC curves, to prevent keys
using those curves from being generated, or being used to
encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify messages.
By default, `config.rejectCurves` includes the brainpool curves
(`brainpoolP256r1`, `brainpoolP384r1`, `brainpoolP512r1`) and the Bitcoin curve
(`secp256k1`). This is because it's unclear whether these curves will be
standardised[1], and we prefer to blacklist them already, rather than introduce
a breaking change after release.

This change is to make the code more consistent between the streaming and
non-streaming cases.
The validity of a signature (or the corresponding verification error) can be
determined through the existing `verified` property.
- `openpgp.generateKey`, `reformatKey` and `revokeKey` take a new `format`
option, whose possible values are: `'armor', 'binary', 'object'` (default is
`'armor'`).
- `generateKey` and `reformatKey` now return an object of the form `{
publicKey, privateKey, revocationCertificate }`, where the type of `publicKey`
and `privateKey` depends on `options.format`:
* if `format: 'armor'` then `privateKey, publicKey` are armored strings;
* if `format: 'binary'` then `privateKey, publicKey` are `Uint8Array`;
* if `format: 'object'` then `privateKey, publicKey` are `PrivateKey` and
`PublicKey` objects respectively;
- `revokeKey` now returns `{ publicKey, privateKey }`, where:
* if a `PrivateKey` is passed as `key` input, `privateKey, publicKey` are of the
requested format;
* if a `PublicKey` is passed as `key` input, `publicKey` is of the requested format,
while `privateKey` is `null` (previously, in this case the `privateKey` field
was not defined).
Breaking changes:
- In `revokeKey`, if no `format` option is specified, the returned `publicKey,
privateKey` are armored strings (they used to be objects).
- In `generateKey` and `reformatKey`, the `key` value is no longer returned.
- For all three functions, the `publicKeyArmored` and `privateKeyArmored`
values are no longer returned.
- Rename `publicKeys` to `encryptionKeys` or `verificationKeys` depending on their use
- Rename `privateKeys` to `decryptionKeys` or `signingKeys` depending on their use
- Similarly, rename `toUserIDs` to `encryptionUserIDs` and `fromUserIDs` to `signingUserIDs`
To encrypt/decrypt a key, the top-level functions `openpgp.encryptKey` and
`openpgp.decryptKey` should be used instead: these don't mutate the key;
instead, they either return a new encrypted/decrypted key object or throw an
error.
With `Key.prototype.encrypt` and `decrypt`, which mutated the key, it was
possible to end up in an inconsistent state if some (sub)keys could be
decrypted but others couldn't, they would both mutate the key and throw an
error, which is unexpected.
Note that the `keyID` parameter is not supported by `encryptKey`/`decryptKey`,
since partial key decryption is not recommended. If you still need to decrypt
a single subkey or primary key `k`, you can call `k.keyPacket.decrypt(...)`,
followed by `k.keyPacket.validate(...)`. Similarly, for encryption, call
`k.keyPacket.encrypt(...)`.
Additionally, `openpgp.generateKey` now requires `options.userIDs` again,
since otherwise the key is basically unusable. This was a regression from v4,
since we now allow parsing keys without user IDs (but still not using them).
- Use PascalCase for classes, with uppercase acronyms.
- Use camelCase for function and variables. First word/acronym is always
lowercase, otherwise acronyms are uppercase.
Also, make the packet classes' `tag` properties `static`.
Refactor functions to take the configuration as a parameter.
This allows setting a config option for a single function call, whereas
setting `openpgp.config` could lead to concurrency-related issues when
multiple async function calls are made at the same time.
`openpgp.config` is used as default for unset config values in top-level
functions.
`openpgp.config` is used as default config object in low-level functions
(i.e., when calling a low-level function, it may be required to pass
`{ ...openpgp.config, modifiedConfig: modifiedValue }`).
Also,
- remove `config.rsaBlinding`: blinding is now always applied to RSA decryption
- remove `config.debug`: debugging mode can be enabled by setting
`process.env.NODE_ENV = 'development'`
- remove `config.useNative`: native crypto is always used when available
Make all `read*` functions accept an options object, so that we can add config
options to them later (for #1166). This is necessary so that we can remove the
global `openpgp.config`, which doesn't work that well when importing
individual functions.
Furthermore, merge `readMessage` and `readArmoredMessage` into one function,
et cetera.
Instead of as modules.
Replace *.read with read*, *.readArmored with readArmored*, etc.
Replace cleartext.readArmored with readArmoredCleartextMessage.
Replace message.fromText with Message.fromText, etc.
Use `key.keyPacket.validate` instead of `crypto.publicKey.validateParams`, see
https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs/pull/1116#discussion_r447781386.
Also, `key.decrypt` now only throws on error, no other value is returned.
Also, fix typo (rebase error) that caused tests to fail in Safari for p521.
openpgp.encrypt, sign, encryptSessionKey, encryptKey and decryptKey now
return their result directly without wrapping it in a "result" object.
Also, remove the `detached` and `returnSessionKey` options of
openpgp.encrypt.
Also, when generating RSA keys in JS, generate them with p < q, as per
the spec.
Also, when generating RSA keys using Web Crypto or Node crypto, swap the
generated p and q around, so that will satisfy p < q in most browsers
(but not old Microsoft Edge, 50% of the time) and so that we can use the
generated u coefficient (p^-1 mod q in OpenPGP, q^-1 mod p in RFC3447).
Then, when signing and verifying, swap p and q again, so that the key
hopefully satisfies Safari's requirement that p > q, and so that we can
keep using u again.
This PR adds four config options to configure whether and how to load
indutny/elliptic: use_indutny_elliptic, external_indutny_elliptic,
indutny_elliptic_path and indutny_elliptic_fetch_options.
Also:
- Use tweetnacl.js instead of indutny/elliptic for curve25519 key generation
- Don't initialize indutny's curve25519, improving performance when using that curve
- Verify NIST signatures using Web Crypto instead of indutny/elliptic when not streaming
- Move KeyPair.sign/verify to ecdsa.js
- Move KeyPair.derive to ecdh.js
- Move keyFromPrivate and keyFromPublic to a new indutnyKey.js file
When not requested, we convert the streams to Uint8Arrays.
This makes the generated key safe to pass to a Worker more than once.
Partially reverts 735aa1da.
When encrypting/signing a stream, this allows you to indicate whether it's a
stream of Strings or Uint8Arrays (using message.fromText or message.fromBinary,
respectively.)
When signing text, this allows you to control whether to create a cleartext
message or a regular armored text message.
When creating a detached signature, it allows you to control whether it's "meant
for" (verifying against) a cleartext message. A cleartext message has trailing
whitespace trimmed before signing. This fixes the case of passing a detached
signature from sign() to encrypt(). Since encrypt() doesn't create a cleartext
message, the signature would be invalid if the text contained lines with
trailing whitespace.
