Same issue: #38, #145

Assigned to Tender discussion #49.

Enhance Libmacgpg or GKA to accept weird keys like this one: http://www.snort.org/pub-keys/public_key_290 (it's valid but needs line manual breaks)

    Ok, there are line breaks...

    Should be "fixed" in Libmacgpg (so GPGServices can use it)

    I see no way to solve this problem.
    GPG doesn't recognize packets like this.

    If anyone has a possible solution, he can re-open this ticket.

    Breaking the format down, it's not too hard to fix such keys.

    We know there needs to be a linebreak after -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----.
    The next part is the hard part, filter out the headers.
    After the headers there neeed's to be another linebreak.
    This can be tested using base64 decode and check for invalid components (split the version by spaces).
    Let's ignore for a second that the version could be some base64 encoded string.

    After we've removed the invalid components, we get to the base64 encoded key part.
    So we read the base64 till we find the ending "-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----".

    After that, we build our own key using

    -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

    |base64 data|

    -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

    And we've got a valid key.

    @Mento: what problems do you see with that method, except the eventually base64 encoded comment? (but I really think, we can ignore those keys)

    • State changed from “fixed” to “verified”

    Was able to import pub keys with missing line breaks, like the one posted in a comment in this ticket.

    Verified.
