The relevant packets will be considered unsupported instead of malformed.
Hence, parsing them will succeed by default (based on
`config.ignoreUnsupportedPackets`).
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`
Don't ignore parse errors if `config.tolerant` is enabled. This leads to
more useful error messages in most cases, as ignoring these errors will
most likely still lead to an error down the line (e.g. if a key binding
signature is missing). Unsupported and unknown packets and packets with
an unsupported or unknown version are still ignored, for forward
compatibility.
Also, make `PKESK.encrypt`/`decrypt` void.
- Make fingerprint and key ID computation async, and rely on Web Crypto
for hashing if available
- Always set fingerprint and keyID on key parsing / generation
- Introduce `*KeyPacket.computeFingerprint()` and
`*KeyPacket.computeFingerprintAndKeyID()`
- Change `getKeyID` and `getFingerprint*` functions to return the
pre-computed key ID and fingerprint, respectively
- Make `PublicKeyPacket.read` async
- 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`.
- Add `config.rejectPublicKeyAlgorithms` to disallow using the given algorithms
to verify, sign or encrypt new messages or third-party certifications.
- Consider `config.minRsaBits` when signing, verifying and encrypting messages
and third-party certifications, not just on key generation.
- When verifying a message, if the verification key is not found (i.e. not
provided or too weak), the corresponding `signature` will have
`signature.valid=false` (used to be `signature.valid=null`).
`signature.error` will detail whether the key is missing/too weak/etc.
Generating and verifying key certification signatures is still permitted in all cases.
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
- Changes `openpgp.generateKey` to accept an explicit `type` parameter,
instead of inferring its value from the `curve` or `rsaBits` params
- Introduces `config.minRsaBits` to set minimum key size of RSA key generation
- Store private and public params separately and by name in objects,
instead of as an array
- Do not keep params in MPI form, but convert them to Uint8Arrays when
generating/parsing the key
- Modify low-level crypto functions to always accept and return
Uint8Arrays instead of BigIntegers
- Move PKCS1 padding to lower level functions
Keep supporting the old names as well though in `openpgp.generateKey`
and `getAlgorithmInfo`, but not in `openpgp.key.generate` (as it is
recommended that developers use `openpgp.generateKey` instead, and
it now throws when using `numBits` instead of `rsaBits`, so there's
no risk of silent key security downgrade).
The old names are now deprecated, and might be removed in v5.
