shinohai: ok asciilifeform i need a redo on the above, i had to recalculate correct 'n' and now will verify both mine and your sigs fine.

    asciilifeform: shinohai: updated
    
    shinohai: tyvm
    
    asciilifeform: np
    
    shinohai: overall, very nifty. Will scratch head over the clearsign problem
    
    asciilifeform: shinohai: 'clearsign' needs slightly different logic (to find & extract the payload, then reprocess the newlines as the idjit rfc demands; and iirc 'class' field differs) but that's afaik it
    
    
    
    asciilifeform: shinohai: i'ma fix the warnings crapola in the next rev ( sig verification obv. dun use rng )
    
    asciilifeform: really that warning oughta trigger strictly on 1st use of '?' on tape and not otherwise
    
    shinohai: Saved your .peh key and mine to http://btc.info.gf/devel/ada/ffa/wot/
    
    asciilifeform: a++
    
    asciilifeform: still need to patch vtron to ride on this.
    
    asciilifeform: (i'ma patch v.py , other folx can do others if/when want)
    
    asciilifeform: observe that litmus already behaves like vtron wants gpg to behave (i.e. dun need gymnastics to work around 'keychain' crapola)
    
    asciilifeform: i looked at my .wot , found that virtually erryone had their gpg set to emit sha256 or even sha1
    
    shinohai: mine set to 512
    
    asciilifeform: right, or wouldn't have eaten
    
    asciilifeform: but apparently shinohai and asciilifeform the only ones w/ correctly-configured gpg..
    
    asciilifeform: prolly oughta put in support for the sad hashes, or good bit of material from folx whose trees i'm still using, but no longer tuned in, won't press.
    
    shinohai: worx a++ with esthlos-v, literally two commands builds entire orchestra
    
    asciilifeform: ( will need switch statement after sig_digest_algo , and corresponding values for HASHER , ASN, and MD_LEN )
    
    asciilifeform: shinohai: neato.
    
    asciilifeform notyet tried esthlos-v
    
    
    
    snsabot: Logged on 2019-12-06 15:22:56 asciilifeform: the patch viewer i'ma have to reimplement (w/ hopper for in-wot sigs) unless he somehow comes back to life
    
    snsabot: Logged on 2019-12-30 17:07:28 asciilifeform: shinohai: realized the need for this while attempting this earlier item -- apparently gpg 1.4 has known (but afaik not fixed) cpu wedge attacks via crafted input turds (and some unknown # of unknown... massive ball o'shit) and really not suitable for 'anyone can feed' www system
    
    asciilifeform: it is prolly possible to implement similar item in e.g. php. but i'ma leave that to the php aficionados.
    
    shinohai: keks
    
    asciilifeform: hey, folx who are into coprophagia, can... who am i to say.

    shinohai: anywho, latest vpatch no longer complains "Digest Algo must equal 0A; instead is 02."
    
    asciilifeform: well yes
    
    asciilifeform: it supports 2,8,9,10,11.
    
    asciilifeform: fwiw asciilifeform also had sha1 sigs in very very early days (afaik none of the items thusly signed are currently in use anywhere)
    
    asciilifeform has nfi wai some folx are still emitting sha1 sigs, the fix was discussed repeatedly in #t, and doesn't require reissuing pubkey
    
    asciilifeform: shinohai: this also fixed.
