<div dir="ltr"><div>The script to register the key uses the key id to pull the key from the designated key server and saves it to the keyring in the keysigning directory, then runs make(1) against a makefile that extracts all keys on the keyring and generates the html table in a file that gets included by the php page. <br></div><div><br></div><div>It generally takes more than a few seconds for the process to complete; I haven't tried to time it. I imagine the network latency from pulling the key from the key server is probably the biggest bottleneck. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I set up a testing copy of the key registration that uses gpg2, but I didn't want to risk step on the live registration page while someone was adding a key, so I plan to put it in place after tonight. I briefly looked at how to generate an ECC key, but it seems there are several different cyphers and some disagreement over which one to choose, and I didn't have time to spend hours this morning figuring it out, so I deferred that until after tonight's meeting as well.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Sep 18, 2019 at 3:55 PM Bill Ricker <<a href="mailto:bill.n1vux@gmail.com">bill.n1vux@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:georgia,serif" class="gmail_default">And in addition, the keyserver has percolation issues, it's not available for retrieval immediately.</div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif" class="gmail_default">But at least my RSA keys eventually registered.</div><div><br></div><div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif" class="gmail_default">(I have confirmed that querying for the Ed25519 key fails with GPG1 and works with GPG2 CLI.</div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif" class="gmail_default"> I may bring slips for my GPG2 Ed25519's ...)</div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif" class="gmail_default"></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Sep 18, 2019 at 3:25 PM Bill Ricker <<a href="mailto:bill.n1vux@gmail.com" target="_blank">bill.n1vux@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Sep 18, 2019 at 3:10 PM Bill Ricker <<a href="mailto:bill.n1vux@gmail.com" target="_blank">bill.n1vux@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:georgia,serif">Alas the registration page is still using GPG1 (or 2.0?) so can't register GPG2.1 Ed25519 signing key :-/</div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif">Let's fix that before <u>next</u> year. *sigh*<br></div></div></div></blockquote></div><div><br></div><div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif" class="gmail_default">Or perhaps not, I uploaded a GPG 4096 RSA key to <a href="http://keys.gnupg.net" target="_blank">keys.gnupg.net</a> and reg page says<br><p style="margin-left:40px"><span style="font-family:monospace"><font color="blue">186B9D4A NOT registered; gpg returned 2</font></span></p>SO IDK WTF ?
