Using Smartcards on a multi-user system does not make much sense except for system services, but in this case no regular user accounts are hosted on the machine. A client connects to the SC-Daemon by connecting to the socket named '/usr/local/var/run/gnupg/scdaemon/socket', configuration information is read from /ETC/GNUPG/SCDAEMON.CONF Each connection acts as one session, SC-Daemon takes care of synchronizing access to a token between sessions. * Menu: * Scdaemon SERIALNO:: Return the serial number. * Scdaemon LEARN:: Read all useful information from the card. * Scdaemon READCERT:: Return a certificate. * Scdaemon READKEY:: Return a public key. * Scdaemon PKSIGN:: Signing data with a Smartcard. * Scdaemon PKDECRYPT:: Decrypting data with a Smartcard. * Scdaemon GETATTR:: Read an attribute's value. * Scdaemon SETATTR:: Update an attribute's value. * Scdaemon WRITEKEY:: Write a key to a card. * Scdaemon GENKEY:: Generate a new key on-card. * Scdaemon RANDOM:: Return random bytes generated on-card. * Scdaemon PASSWD:: Change PINs. * Scdaemon CHECKPIN:: Perform a VERIFY operation. * Scdaemon RESTART:: Restart connection * Scdaemon APDU:: Send a verbatim APDU to the card  File: gnupg.info, Node: Scdaemon SERIALNO, Next: Scdaemon LEARN, Up: Scdaemon Protocol 6.6.1 Return the serial number ------------------------------ This command should be used to check for the presence of a card. It is special in that it can be used to reset the card. Most other commands will return an error when a card change has been detected and the use of this function is therefore required. Background: We want to keep the client clear of handling card changes between operations; i.e. the client can assume that all operations are done on the same card unless he call this function. SERIALNO Return the serial number of the card using a status response like: S SERIALNO D27600000000000000000000 0 The trailing 0 should be ignored for now, it is reserved for a future extension. The serial number is the hex encoded value identified by the '0x5A' tag in the GDO file (FIX=0x2F02).  File: gnupg.info, Node: Scdaemon LEARN, Next: Scdaemon READCERT, Prev: Scdaemon SERIALNO, Up: Scdaemon Protocol 6.6.2 Read all useful information from the card ----------------------------------------------- LEARN [--force] Learn all useful information of the currently inserted card. When used without the '--force' option, the command might do an INQUIRE like this: INQUIRE KNOWNCARDP The client should just send an 'END' if the processing should go on or a 'CANCEL' to force the function to terminate with a cancel error message. The response of this command is a list of status lines formatted as this: S KEYPAIRINFO HEXSTRING_WITH_KEYGRIP HEXSTRING_WITH_ID If there is no certificate yet stored on the card a single "X" is returned in HEXSTRING_WITH_KEYGRIP.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Scdaemon READCERT, Next: Scdaemon READKEY, Prev: Scdaemon LEARN, Up: Scdaemon Protocol 6.6.3 Return a certificate -------------------------- READCERT HEXIFIED_CERTID|KEYID This function is used to read a certificate identified by HEXIFIED_CERTID from the card. With OpenPGP cards the keyid 'OpenPGP.3' may be used to read the certificate of version 2 cards.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Scdaemon READKEY, Next: Scdaemon PKSIGN, Prev: Scdaemon READCERT, Up: Scdaemon Protocol 6.6.4 Return a public key ------------------------- READKEY HEXIFIED_CERTID Return the public key for the given cert or key ID as an standard S-Expression.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Scdaemon PKSIGN, Next: Scdaemon PKDECRYPT, Prev: Scdaemon READKEY, Up: Scdaemon Protocol 6.6.5 Signing data with a Smartcard ----------------------------------- To sign some data the caller should use the command SETDATA HEXSTRING to tell 'scdaemon' about the data to be signed. The data must be given in hex notation. The actual signing is done using the command PKSIGN KEYID where KEYID is the hexified ID of the key to be used. The key id may have been retrieved using the command 'LEARN'. If another hash algorithm than SHA-1 is used, that algorithm may be given like: PKSIGN --hash=ALGONAME KEYID With ALGONAME are one of 'sha1', 'rmd160' or 'md5'.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Scdaemon PKDECRYPT, Next: Scdaemon GETATTR, Prev: Scdaemon PKSIGN, Up: Scdaemon Protocol 6.6.6 Decrypting data with a Smartcard -------------------------------------- To decrypt some data the caller should use the command SETDATA HEXSTRING to tell 'scdaemon' about the data to be decrypted. The data must be given in hex notation. The actual decryption is then done using the command PKDECRYPT KEYID where KEYID is the hexified ID of the key to be used. If the card is aware of the apdding format a status line with padding information is send before the plaintext data. The key for this status line is 'PADDING' with the only defined value being 0 and meaning padding has been removed.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Scdaemon GETATTR, Next: Scdaemon SETATTR, Prev: Scdaemon PKDECRYPT, Up: Scdaemon Protocol 6.6.7 Read an attribute's value ------------------------------- TO BE WRITTEN.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Scdaemon SETATTR, Next: Scdaemon WRITEKEY, Prev: Scdaemon GETATTR, Up: Scdaemon Protocol 6.6.8 Update an attribute's value --------------------------------- TO BE WRITTEN.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Scdaemon WRITEKEY, Next: Scdaemon GENKEY, Prev: Scdaemon SETATTR, Up: Scdaemon Protocol 6.6.9 Write a key to a card --------------------------- WRITEKEY [--force] KEYID This command is used to store a secret key on a smartcard. The allowed keyids depend on the currently selected smartcard application. The actual keydata is requested using the inquiry 'KEYDATA' and need to be provided without any protection. With '--force' set an existing key under this KEYID will get overwritten. The key data is expected to be the usual canonical encoded S-expression. A PIN will be requested in most cases. This however depends on the actual card application.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Scdaemon GENKEY, Next: Scdaemon RANDOM, Prev: Scdaemon WRITEKEY, Up: Scdaemon Protocol 6.6.10 Generate a new key on-card --------------------------------- TO BE WRITTEN.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Scdaemon RANDOM, Next: Scdaemon PASSWD, Prev: Scdaemon GENKEY, Up: Scdaemon Protocol 6.6.11 Return random bytes generated on-card -------------------------------------------- TO BE WRITTEN.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Scdaemon PASSWD, Next: Scdaemon CHECKPIN, Prev: Scdaemon RANDOM, Up: Scdaemon Protocol 6.6.12 Change PINs ------------------ PASSWD [--reset] [--nullpin] CHVNO Change the PIN or reset the retry counter of the card holder verification vector number CHVNO. The option '--nullpin' is used to initialize the PIN of TCOS cards (6 byte NullPIN only).  File: gnupg.info, Node: Scdaemon CHECKPIN, Next: Scdaemon RESTART, Prev: Scdaemon PASSWD, Up: Scdaemon Protocol 6.6.13 Perform a VERIFY operation --------------------------------- CHECKPIN IDSTR Perform a VERIFY operation without doing anything else. This may be used to initialize a the PIN cache earlier to long lasting operations. Its use is highly application dependent: *OpenPGP* Perform a simple verify operation for CHV1 and CHV2, so that further operations won't ask for CHV2 and it is possible to do a cheap check on the PIN: If there is something wrong with the PIN entry system, only the regular CHV will get blocked and not the dangerous CHV3. IDSTR is the usual card's serial number in hex notation; an optional fingerprint part will get ignored. There is however a special mode if IDSTR is suffixed with the literal string '[CHV3]': In this case the Admin PIN is checked if and only if the retry counter is still at 3.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Scdaemon RESTART, Next: Scdaemon APDU, Prev: Scdaemon CHECKPIN, Up: Scdaemon Protocol 6.6.14 Perform a RESTART operation ---------------------------------- RESTART Restart the current connection; this is a kind of warm reset. It deletes the context used by this connection but does not actually reset the card. This is used by gpg-agent to reuse a primary pipe connection and may be used by clients to backup from a conflict in the serial command; i.e. to select another application.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Scdaemon APDU, Prev: Scdaemon RESTART, Up: Scdaemon Protocol 6.6.15 Send a verbatim APDU to the card --------------------------------------- APDU [--atr] [--more] [--exlen[=N]] [HEXSTRING] Send an APDU to the current reader. This command bypasses the high level functions and sends the data directly to the card. HEXSTRING is expected to be a proper APDU. If HEXSTRING is not given no commands are send to the card; However the command will implicitly check whether the card is ready for use. Using the option '--atr' returns the ATR of the card as a status message before any data like this: S CARD-ATR 3BFA1300FF813180450031C173C00100009000B1 Using the option '--more' handles the card status word MORE_DATA (61xx) and concatenate all responses to one block. Using the option '--exlen' the returned APDU may use extended length up to N bytes. If N is not given a default value is used (currently 4096).  File: gnupg.info, Node: Specify a User ID, Next: Helper Tools, Prev: Invoking SCDAEMON, Up: Top 7 How to Specify a User Id ************************** There are different ways to specify a user ID to GnuPG. Some of them are only valid for 'gpg' others are only good for 'gpgsm'. Here is the entire list of ways to specify a key: * By key Id. This format is deduced from the length of the string and its content or '0x' prefix. The key Id of an X.509 certificate are the low 64 bits of its SHA-1 fingerprint. The use of key Ids is just a shortcut, for all automated processing the fingerprint should be used. When using 'gpg' an exclamation mark (!) may be appended to force using the specified primary or secondary key and not to try and calculate which primary or secondary key to use. The last four lines of the example give the key ID in their long form as internally used by the OpenPGP protocol. You can see the long key ID using the option '--with-colons'. 234567C4 0F34E556E 01347A56A 0xAB123456 234AABBCC34567C4 0F323456784E56EAB 01AB3FED1347A5612 0x234AABBCC34567C4 * By fingerprint. This format is deduced from the length of the string and its content or the '0x' prefix. Note, that only the 20 byte version fingerprint is available with 'gpgsm' (i.e. the SHA-1 hash of the certificate). When using 'gpg' an exclamation mark (!) may be appended to force using the specified primary or secondary key and not to try and calculate which primary or secondary key to use. The best way to specify a key Id is by using the fingerprint. This avoids any ambiguities in case that there are duplicated key IDs. 1234343434343434C434343434343434 123434343434343C3434343434343734349A3434 0E12343434343434343434EAB3484343434343434 0xE12343434343434343434EAB3484343434343434 'gpgsm' also accepts colons between each pair of hexadecimal digits because this is the de-facto standard on how to present X.509 fingerprints. 'gpg' also allows the use of the space separated SHA-1 fingerprint as printed by the key listing commands. * By exact match on OpenPGP user ID. This is denoted by a leading equal sign. It does not make sense for X.509 certificates. =Heinrich Heine * By exact match on an email address. This is indicated by enclosing the email address in the usual way with left and right angles. * By partial match on an email address. This is indicated by prefixing the search string with an '@'. This uses a substring search but considers only the mail address (i.e. inside the angle brackets). @heinrichh * By exact match on the subject's DN. This is indicated by a leading slash, directly followed by the RFC-2253 encoded DN of the subject. Note that you can't use the string printed by 'gpgsm --list-keys' because that one has been reordered and modified for better readability; use '--with-colons' to print the raw (but standard escaped) RFC-2253 string. /CN=Heinrich Heine,O=Poets,L=Paris,C=FR * By exact match on the issuer's DN. This is indicated by a leading hash mark, directly followed by a slash and then directly followed by the RFC-2253 encoded DN of the issuer. This should return the Root cert of the issuer. See note above. #/CN=Root Cert,O=Poets,L=Paris,C=FR * By exact match on serial number and issuer's DN. This is indicated by a hash mark, followed by the hexadecimal representation of the serial number, then followed by a slash and the RFC-2253 encoded DN of the issuer. See note above. #4F03/CN=Root Cert,O=Poets,L=Paris,C=FR * By keygrip. This is indicated by an ampersand followed by the 40 hex digits of a keygrip. 'gpgsm' prints the keygrip when using the command '--dump-cert'. It does not yet work for OpenPGP keys. &D75F22C3F86E355877348498CDC92BD21010A480 * By substring match. This is the default mode but applications may want to explicitly indicate this by putting the asterisk in front. Match is not case sensitive. Heine *Heine * . and + prefixes These prefixes are reserved for looking up mails anchored at the end and for a word search mode. They are not yet implemented and using them is undefined. Please note that we have reused the hash mark identifier which was used in old GnuPG versions to indicate the so called local-id. It is not anymore used and there should be no conflict when used with X.509 stuff. Using the RFC-2253 format of DNs has the drawback that it is not possible to map them back to the original encoding, however we don't have to do this because our key database stores this encoding as meta data.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Helper Tools, Next: Howtos, Prev: Specify a User ID, Up: Top 8 Helper Tools ************** GnuPG comes with a couple of smaller tools: * Menu: * watchgnupg:: Read logs from a socket. * gpgv:: Verify OpenPGP signatures. * addgnupghome:: Create .gnupg home directories. * gpgconf:: Modify .gnupg home directories. * applygnupgdefaults:: Run gpgconf for all users. * gpg-preset-passphrase:: Put a passphrase into the cache. * gpg-connect-agent:: Communicate with a running agent. * dirmngr-client:: How to use the Dirmngr client tool. * gpgparsemail:: Parse a mail message into an annotated format * symcryptrun:: Call a simple symmetric encryption tool. * gpg-zip:: Encrypt or sign files into an archive.  File: gnupg.info, Node: watchgnupg, Next: gpgv, Up: Helper Tools 8.1 Read logs from a socket =========================== Most of the main utilities are able to write their log files to a Unix Domain socket if configured that way. 'watchgnupg' is a simple listener for such a socket. It ameliorates the output with a time stamp and makes sure that long lines are not interspersed with log output from other utilities. This tool is not available for Windows. 'watchgnupg' is commonly invoked as watchgnupg --force ~/.gnupg/S.log This starts it on the current terminal for listening on the socket '~/.gnupg/S.log'. 'watchgnupg' understands these options: '--force' Delete an already existing socket file. '--tcp N' Instead of reading from a local socket, listen for connects on TCP port N. '--verbose' Enable extra informational output. '--version' Print version of the program and exit. '--help' Display a brief help page and exit. Examples ******** $ watchgnupg --force /home/foo/.gnupg/S.log This waits for connections on the local socket '/home/foo/.gnupg/S.log' and shows all log entries. To make this work the option 'log-file' needs to be used with all modules which logs are to be shown. The value for that option must be given with a special prefix (e.g. in the conf files): log-file socket:///home/foo/.gnupg/S.log If only 'socket://' is used a default socket file named 'S.log' in the standard socket directory is used. For debugging purposes it is also possible to do remote logging. Take care if you use this feature because the information is send in the clear over the network. Use this syntax in the conf files: log-file tcp://192.168.1.1:4711 You may use any port and not just 4711 as shown above; only IP addresses are supported (v4 and v6) and no host names. You need to start 'watchgnupg' with the 'tcp' option. Note that under Windows the registry entry HKCU\SOFTWARE\GNU\GNUPG:DEFAULTLOGFILE can be used to change the default log output from 'stderr' to whatever is given by that entry. However the only useful entry is a TCP name for remote debugging.  File: gnupg.info, Node: gpgv, Next: addgnupghome, Prev: watchgnupg, Up: Helper Tools 8.2 Verify OpenPGP signatures ============================= 'gpgv' is an OpenPGP signature verification tool. This program is actually a stripped-down version of 'gpg' which is only able to check signatures. It is somewhat smaller than the fully-blown 'gpg' and uses a different (and simpler) way to check that the public keys used to make the signature are valid. There are no configuration files and only a few options are implemented. 'gpgv' assumes that all keys in the keyring are trustworthy. That does also mean that it does not check for expired or revoked keys. By default a keyring named 'trustedkeys.kbx' is used; if that does not exist a keyring named 'trustedkeys.gpg' is used. The default keyring is assumed to be in the home directory of GnuPG, either the default home directory or the one set by an option or an environment variable. The option '--keyring' may be used to specify a different keyring or even multiple keyrings. 'gpgv' recognizes these options: '--verbose' '-v' Gives more information during processing. If used twice, the input data is listed in detail. '--quiet' '-q' Try to be as quiet as possible. '--keyring FILE' Add FILE to the list of keyrings. If FILE begins with a tilde and a slash, these are replaced by the HOME directory. If the filename does not contain a slash, it is assumed to be in the home-directory ("~/.gnupg" if -homedir is not used). '--output FILE' '-o FILE' Write output to FILE; to write to stdout use '-'. This option can be used to get the signed text from a cleartext or binary signature; it also works for detached signatures, but in that case this option is in general not useful. Note that an existing file will be overwritten. '--status-fd N' Write special status strings to the file descriptor N. See the file DETAILS in the documentation for a listing of them. '--logger-fd n' Write log output to file descriptor 'n' and not to stderr. '--ignore-time-conflict' GnuPG normally checks that the timestamps associated with keys and signatures have plausible values. However, sometimes a signature seems to be older than the key due to clock problems. This option turns these checks into warnings. '--homedir DIR' Set the name of the home directory to DIR. If this option is not used, the home directory defaults to '~/.gnupg'. It is only recognized when given on the command line. It also overrides any home directory stated through the environment variable 'GNUPGHOME' or (on Windows systems) by means of the Registry entry HKCU\SOFTWARE\GNU\GNUPG:HOMEDIR. On Windows systems it is possible to install GnuPG as a portable application. In this case only this command line option is considered, all other ways to set a home directory are ignored. To install GnuPG as a portable application under Windows, create an empty file named 'gpgconf.ctl' in the same directory as the tool 'gpgconf.exe'. The root of the installation is then that directory; or, if 'gpgconf.exe' has been installed directly below a directory named 'bin', its parent directory. You also need to make sure that the following directories exist and are writable: 'ROOT/home' for the GnuPG home and 'ROOT/usr/local/var/cache/gnupg' for internal cache files. '--weak-digest name' Treat the specified digest algorithm as weak. Signatures made over weak digests algorithms are normally rejected. This option can be supplied multiple times if multiple algorithms should be considered weak. MD5 is always considered weak, and does not need to be listed explicitly. '--enable-special-filenames' This option enables a mode in which filenames of the form '-&n', where n is a non-negative decimal number, refer to the file descriptor n and not to a file with that name. The program returns 0 if everything is fine, 1 if at least one signature was bad, and other error codes for fatal errors. 8.2.1 Examples -------------- gpgv 'pgpfile' gpgv 'sigfile' ['datafile'] Verify the signature of the file. The second form is used for detached signatures, where 'sigfile' is the detached signature (either ASCII-armored or binary) and 'datafile' contains the signed data; if 'datafile' is "-" the signed data is expected on 'stdin'; if 'datafile' is not given the name of the file holding the signed data is constructed by cutting off the extension (".asc", ".sig" or ".sign") from 'sigfile'. 8.2.2 Environment ----------------- HOME Used to locate the default home directory. GNUPGHOME If set directory used instead of "~/.gnupg". 8.2.3 FILES ----------- ~/.gnupg/trustedkeys.gpg The default keyring with the allowed keys. 'gpg2'(1)  File: gnupg.info, Node: addgnupghome, Next: gpgconf, Prev: gpgv, Up: Helper Tools 8.3 Create .gnupg home directories ================================== If GnuPG is installed on a system with existing user accounts, it is sometimes required to populate the GnuPG home directory with existing files. Especially a 'trustlist.txt' and a keybox with some initial certificates are often desired. This script helps to do this by copying all files from '/etc/skel/.gnupg' to the home directories of the accounts given on the command line. It takes care not to overwrite existing GnuPG home directories. 'addgnupghome' is invoked by root as: addgnupghome account1 account2 ... accountn  File: gnupg.info, Node: gpgconf, Next: applygnupgdefaults, Prev: addgnupghome, Up: Helper Tools 8.4 Modify .gnupg home directories ================================== The 'gpgconf' is a utility to automatically and reasonable safely query and modify configuration files in the '.gnupg' home directory. It is designed not to be invoked manually by the user, but automatically by graphical user interfaces (GUI).(1) 'gpgconf' provides access to the configuration of one or more components of the GnuPG system. These components correspond more or less to the programs that exist in the GnuPG framework, like GPG, GPGSM, DirMngr, etc. But this is not a strict one-to-one relationship. Not all configuration options are available through 'gpgconf'. 'gpgconf' provides a generic and abstract method to access the most important configuration options that can feasibly be controlled via such a mechanism. 'gpgconf' can be used to gather and change the options available in each component, and can also provide their default values. 'gpgconf' will give detailed type information that can be used to restrict the user's input without making an attempt to commit the changes. 'gpgconf' provides the backend of a configuration editor. The configuration editor would usually be a graphical user interface program that displays the current options, their default values, and allows the user to make changes to the options. These changes can then be made active with 'gpgconf' again. Such a program that uses 'gpgconf' in this way will be called GUI throughout this section. * Menu: * Invoking gpgconf:: List of all commands and options. * Format conventions:: Formatting conventions relevant for all commands. * Listing components:: List all gpgconf components. * Checking programs:: Check all programs known to gpgconf. * Listing options:: List all options of a component. * Changing options:: Changing options of a component. * Listing global options:: List all global options. * Querying versions:: Get and compare software versions. * Files used by gpgconf:: What files are used by gpgconf. ---------- Footnotes ---------- (1) Please note that currently no locking is done, so concurrent access should be avoided. There are some precautions to avoid corruption with concurrent usage, but results may be inconsistent and some changes may get lost. The stateless design makes it difficult to provide more guarantees.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Invoking gpgconf, Next: Format conventions, Up: gpgconf 8.4.1 Invoking gpgconf ---------------------- One of the following commands must be given: '--list-components' List all components. This is the default command used if none is specified. '--check-programs' List all available backend programs and test whether they are runnable. '--list-options COMPONENT' List all options of the component COMPONENT. '--change-options COMPONENT' Change the options of the component COMPONENT. '--check-options COMPONENT' Check the options for the component COMPONENT. '--apply-profile FILE' Apply the configuration settings listed in FILE to the configuration files. If FILE has no suffix and no slashes the command first tries to read a file with the suffix '.prf' from the the data directory ('gpgconf --list-dirs datadir') before it reads the file verbatim. A profile is divided into sections using the bracketed component name. Each section then lists the option which shall go into the respective configuration file. '--apply-defaults' Update all configuration files with values taken from the global configuration file (usually '/etc/gnupg/gpgconf.conf'). '--list-dirs [NAMES]' Lists the directories used by 'gpgconf'. One directory is listed per line, and each line consists of a colon-separated list where the first field names the directory type (for example 'sysconfdir') and the second field contains the percent-escaped directory. Although they are not directories, the socket file names used by 'gpg-agent' and 'dirmngr' are printed as well. Note that the socket file names and the 'homedir' lines are the default names and they may be overridden by command line switches. If NAMES are given only the directories or file names specified by the list names are printed without any escaping. '--list-config [FILENAME]' List the global configuration file in a colon separated format. If FILENAME is given, check that file instead. '--check-config [FILENAME]' Run a syntax check on the global configuration file. If FILENAME is given, check that file instead. '--query-swdb PACKAGE_NAME [VERSION_STRING]' Returns the current version for PACKAGE_NAME and if VERSION_STRING is given also an indicator on whether an update is available. The actual file with the software version is automatically downloaded and checked by 'dirmngr'. 'dirmngr' uses a thresholds to avoid download the file too often and it does this by default only if it can be done via Tor. To force an update of that file this command can be used: gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr 'loadswdb --force' /bye '--reload [COMPONENT]' Reload all or the given component. This is basically the same as sending a SIGHUP to the component. Components which don't support reloading are ignored. '--launch [COMPONENT]' If the COMPONENT is not already running, start it. 'component' must be a daemon. This is in general not required because the system starts these daemons as needed. However, external software making direct use of 'gpg-agent' or 'dirmngr' may use this command to ensure that they are started. '--kill [COMPONENT]' Kill the given component. Components which support killing are 'gpg-agent' and 'scdaemon'. Components which don't support reloading are ignored. Note that as of now reload and kill have the same effect for 'scdaemon'. '--create-socketdir' Create a directory for sockets below /run/user or /var/run/user. This is command is only required if a non default home directory is used and the /run based sockets shall be used. For the default home directory GnUPG creates a directory on the fly. '--remove-socketdir' Remove a directory created with command '--create-socketdir'. The following options may be used: '-o FILE' '--output FILE' Write output to FILE. Default is to write to stdout. '-v' '--verbose' Outputs additional information while running. Specifically, this extends numerical field values by human-readable descriptions. '-q' '--quiet' Try to be as quiet as possible. '-n' '--dry-run' Do not actually change anything. This is currently only implemented for '--change-options' and can be used for testing purposes. '-r' '--runtime' Only used together with '--change-options'. If one of the modified options can be changed in a running daemon process, signal the running daemon to ask it to reparse its configuration file after changing. This means that the changes will take effect at run-time, as far as this is possible. Otherwise, they will take effect at the next start of the respective backend programs.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Format conventions, Next: Listing components, Prev: Invoking gpgconf, Up: gpgconf 8.4.2 Format conventions ------------------------ Some lines in the output of 'gpgconf' contain a list of colon-separated fields. The following conventions apply: * The GUI program is required to strip off trailing newline and/or carriage return characters from the output. * 'gpgconf' will never leave out fields. If a certain version provides a certain field, this field will always be present in all 'gpgconf' versions from that time on. * Future versions of 'gpgconf' might append fields to the list. New fields will always be separated from the previously last field by a colon separator. The GUI should be prepared to parse the last field it knows about up until a colon or end of line. * Not all fields are defined under all conditions. You are required to ignore the content of undefined fields. There are several standard types for the content of a field: verbatim Some fields contain strings that are not escaped in any way. Such fields are described to be used _verbatim_. These fields will never contain a colon character (for obvious reasons). No de-escaping or other formatting is required to use the field content. This is for easy parsing of the output, when it is known that the content can never contain any special characters. percent-escaped Some fields contain strings that are described to be _percent-escaped_. Such strings need to be de-escaped before their content can be presented to the user. A percent-escaped string is de-escaped by replacing all occurrences of '%XY' by the byte that has the hexadecimal value 'XY'. 'X' and 'Y' are from the set '0-9a-f'. localized Some fields contain strings that are described to be _localized_. Such strings are translated to the active language and formatted in the active character set. unsigned number Some fields contain an _unsigned number_. This number will always fit into a 32-bit unsigned integer variable. The number may be followed by a space, followed by a human readable description of that value (if the verbose option is used). You should ignore everything in the field that follows the number. signed number Some fields contain a _signed number_. This number will always fit into a 32-bit signed integer variable. The number may be followed by a space, followed by a human readable description of that value (if the verbose option is used). You should ignore everything in the field that follows the number. boolean value Some fields contain a _boolean value_. This is a number with either the value 0 or 1. The number may be followed by a space, followed by a human readable description of that value (if the verbose option is used). You should ignore everything in the field that follows the number; checking just the first character is sufficient in this case. option Some fields contain an _option_ argument. The format of an option argument depends on the type of the option and on some flags: no argument The simplest case is that the option does not take an argument at all (TYPE '0'). Then the option argument is an unsigned number that specifies how often the option occurs. If the 'list' flag is not set, then the only valid number is '1'. Options that do not take an argument never have the 'default' or 'optional arg' flag set. number If the option takes a number argument (ALT-TYPE is '2' or '3'), and it can only occur once ('list' flag is not set), then the option argument is either empty (only allowed if the argument is optional), or it is a number. A number is a string that begins with an optional minus character, followed by one or more digits. The number must fit into an integer variable (unsigned or signed, depending on ALT-TYPE). number list If the option takes a number argument and it can occur more than once, then the option argument is either empty, or it is a comma-separated list of numbers as described above. string If the option takes a string argument (ALT-TYPE is 1), and it can only occur once ('list' flag is not set) then the option argument is either empty (only allowed if the argument is optional), or it starts with a double quote character ('"') followed by a percent-escaped string that is the argument value. Note that there is only a leading double quote character, no trailing one. The double quote character is only needed to be able to differentiate between no value and the empty string as value. string list If the option takes a string argument and it can occur more than once, then the option argument is either empty, or it is a comma-separated list of string arguments as described above. The active language and character set are currently determined from the locale environment of the 'gpgconf' program.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Listing components, Next: Checking programs, Prev: Format conventions, Up: gpgconf 8.4.3 Listing components ------------------------ The command '--list-components' will list all components that can be configured with 'gpgconf'. Usually, one component will correspond to one GnuPG-related program and contain the options of that program's configuration file that can be modified using 'gpgconf'. However, this is not necessarily the case. A component might also be a group of selected options from several programs, or contain entirely virtual options that have a special effect rather than changing exactly one option in one configuration file. A component is a set of configuration options that semantically belong together. Furthermore, several changes to a component can be made in an atomic way with a single operation. The GUI could for example provide a menu with one entry for each component, or a window with one tabulator sheet per component. The command '--list-components' lists all available components, one per line. The format of each line is: 'NAME:DESCRIPTION:PGMNAME:' NAME This field contains a name tag of the component. The name tag is used to specify the component in all communication with 'gpgconf'. The name tag is to be used _verbatim_. It is thus not in any escaped format. DESCRIPTION The _string_ in this field contains a human-readable description of the component. It can be displayed to the user of the GUI for informational purposes. It is _percent-escaped_ and _localized_. PGMNAME The _string_ in this field contains the absolute name of the program's file. It can be used to unambiguously invoke that program. It is _percent-escaped_. Example: $ gpgconf --list-components gpg:GPG for OpenPGP:/usr/local/bin/gpg2: gpg-agent:GPG Agent:/usr/local/bin/gpg-agent: scdaemon:Smartcard Daemon:/usr/local/bin/scdaemon: gpgsm:GPG for S/MIME:/usr/local/bin/gpgsm: dirmngr:Directory Manager:/usr/local/bin/dirmngr:  File: gnupg.info, Node: Checking programs, Next: Listing options, Prev: Listing components, Up: gpgconf 8.4.4 Checking programs ----------------------- The command '--check-programs' is similar to '--list-components' but works on backend programs and not on components. It runs each program to test whether it is installed and runnable. This also includes a syntax check of all config file options of the program. The command '--check-programs' lists all available programs, one per line. The format of each line is: 'NAME:DESCRIPTION:PGMNAME:AVAIL:OKAY:CFGFILE:LINE:ERROR:' NAME This field contains a name tag of the program which is identical to the name of the component. The name tag is to be used _verbatim_. It is thus not in any escaped format. This field may be empty to indicate a continuation of error descriptions for the last name. The description and pgmname fields are then also empty. DESCRIPTION The _string_ in this field contains a human-readable description of the component. It can be displayed to the user of the GUI for informational purposes. It is _percent-escaped_ and _localized_. PGMNAME The _string_ in this field contains the absolute name of the program's file. It can be used to unambiguously invoke that program. It is _percent-escaped_. AVAIL The _boolean value_ in this field indicates whether the program is installed and runnable. OKAY The _boolean value_ in this field indicates whether the program's config file is syntactically okay. CFGFILE If an error occurred in the configuration file (as indicated by a false value in the field 'okay'), this field has the name of the failing configuration file. It is _percent-escaped_. LINE If an error occurred in the configuration file, this field has the line number of the failing statement in the configuration file. It is an _unsigned number_. ERROR If an error occurred in the configuration file, this field has the error text of the failing statement in the configuration file. It is _percent-escaped_ and _localized_. In the following example the 'dirmngr' is not runnable and the configuration file of 'scdaemon' is not okay. $ gpgconf --check-programs gpg:GPG for OpenPGP:/usr/local/bin/gpg2:1:1: gpg-agent:GPG Agent:/usr/local/bin/gpg-agent:1:1: scdaemon:Smartcard Daemon:/usr/local/bin/scdaemon:1:0: gpgsm:GPG for S/MIME:/usr/local/bin/gpgsm:1:1: dirmngr:Directory Manager:/usr/local/bin/dirmngr:0:0: The command '--check-options COMPONENT' will verify the configuration file in the same manner as '--check-programs', but only for the component COMPONENT.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Listing options, Next: Changing options, Prev: Checking programs, Up: gpgconf 8.4.5 Listing options --------------------- Every component contains one or more options. Options may be gathered into option groups to allow the GUI to give visual hints to the user about which options are related. The command '--list-options COMPONENT' lists all options (and the groups they belong to) in the component COMPONENT, one per line. COMPONENT must be the string in the field NAME in the output of the '--list-components' command. There is one line for each option and each group. First come all options that are not in any group. Then comes a line describing a group. Then come all options that belong into each group. Then comes the next group and so on. There does not need to be any group (and in this case the output will stop after the last non-grouped option). The format of each line is: 'NAME:FLAGS:LEVEL:DESCRIPTION:TYPE:ALT-TYPE:ARGNAME:DEFAULT:ARGDEF:VALUE' NAME This field contains a name tag for the group or option. The name tag is used to specify the group or option in all communication with 'gpgconf'. The name tag is to be used _verbatim_. It is thus not in any escaped format. FLAGS The flags field contains an _unsigned number_. Its value is the OR-wise combination of the following flag values: 'group (1)' If this flag is set, this is a line describing a group and not an option. The following flag values are only defined for options (that is, if the 'group' flag is not used). 'optional arg (2)' If this flag is set, the argument is optional. This is never set for TYPE '0' (none) options. 'list (4)' If this flag is set, the option can be given multiple times. 'runtime (8)' If this flag is set, the option can be changed at runtime. 'default (16)' If this flag is set, a default value is available. 'default desc (32)' If this flag is set, a (runtime) default is available. This and the 'default' flag are mutually exclusive. 'no arg desc (64)' If this flag is set, and the 'optional arg' flag is set, then the option has a special meaning if no argument is given. 'no change (128)' If this flag is set, 'gpgconf' ignores requests to change the value. GUI frontends should grey out this option. Note, that manual changes of the configuration files are still possible. LEVEL This field is defined for options and for groups. It contains an _unsigned number_ that specifies the expert level under which this group or option should be displayed. The following expert levels are defined for options (they have analogous meaning for groups): 'basic (0)' This option should always be offered to the user. 'advanced (1)' This option may be offered to advanced users. 'expert (2)' This option should only be offered to expert users. 'invisible (3)' This option should normally never be displayed, not even to expert users. 'internal (4)' This option is for internal use only. Ignore it. The level of a group will always be the lowest level of all options it contains. DESCRIPTION This field is defined for options and groups. The _string_ in this field contains a human-readable description of the option or group. It can be displayed to the user of the GUI for informational purposes. It is _percent-escaped_ and _localized_. TYPE This field is only defined for options. It contains an _unsigned number_ that specifies the type of the option's argument, if any. The following types are defined: Basic types: 'none (0)' No argument allowed. 'string (1)' An _unformatted string_. 'int32 (2)' A _signed number_. 'uint32 (3)' An _unsigned number_. Complex types: 'pathname (32)' A _string_ that describes the pathname of a file. The file does not necessarily need to exist. 'ldap server (33)' A _string_ that describes an LDAP server in the format: 'HOSTNAME:PORT:USERNAME:PASSWORD:BASE_DN' 'key fingerprint (34)' A _string_ with a 40 digit fingerprint specifying a certificate. 'pub key (35)' A _string_ that describes a certificate by user ID, key ID or fingerprint. 'sec key (36)' A _string_ that describes a certificate with a key by user ID, key ID or fingerprint. 'alias list (37)' A _string_ that describes an alias list, like the one used with gpg's group option. The list consists of a key, an equal sign and space separated values. More types will be added in the future. Please see the ALT-TYPE field for information on how to cope with unknown types. ALT-TYPE This field is identical to TYPE, except that only the types '0' to '31' are allowed. The GUI is expected to present the user the option in the format specified by TYPE. But if the argument type TYPE is not supported by the GUI, it can still display the option in the more generic basic type ALT-TYPE. The GUI must support all the defined basic types to be able to display all options. More basic types may be added in future versions. If the GUI encounters a basic type it doesn't support, it should report an error and abort the operation. ARGNAME This field is only defined for options with an argument type TYPE that is not '0'. In this case it may contain a _percent-escaped_ and _localized string_ that gives a short name for the argument. The field may also be empty, though, in which case a short name is not known. DEFAULT This field is defined only for options for which the 'default' or 'default desc' flag is set. If the 'default' flag is set, its format is that of an _option argument_ (*note Format conventions::, for details). If the default value is empty, then no default is known. Otherwise, the value specifies the default value for this option. If the 'default desc' flag is set, the field is either empty or contains a description of the effect if the option is not given. ARGDEF This field is defined only for options for which the 'optional arg' flag is set. If the 'no arg desc' flag is not set, its format is that of an _option argument_ (*note Format conventions::, for details). If the default value is empty, then no default is known. Otherwise, the value specifies the default argument for this option. If the 'no arg desc' flag is set, the field is either empty or contains a description of the effect of this option if no argument is given. VALUE This field is defined only for options. Its format is that of an _option argument_. If it is empty, then the option is not explicitly set in the current configuration, and the default applies (if any). Otherwise, it contains the current value of the option. Note that this field is also meaningful if the option itself does not take a real argument (in this case, it contains the number of times the option appears).  File: gnupg.info, Node: Changing options, Next: Listing global options, Prev: Listing options, Up: gpgconf 8.4.6 Changing options ---------------------- The command '--change-options COMPONENT' will attempt to change the options of the component COMPONENT to the specified values. COMPONENT must be the string in the field NAME in the output of the '--list-components' command. You have to provide the options that shall be changed in the following format on standard input: 'NAME:FLAGS:NEW-VALUE' NAME This is the name of the option to change. NAME must be the string in the field NAME in the output of the '--list-options' command. FLAGS The flags field contains an _unsigned number_. Its value is the OR-wise combination of the following flag values: 'default (16)' If this flag is set, the option is deleted and the default value is used instead (if applicable). NEW-VALUE The new value for the option. This field is only defined if the 'default' flag is not set. The format is that of an _option argument_. If it is empty (or the field is omitted), the default argument is used (only allowed if the argument is optional for this option). Otherwise, the option will be set to the specified value. The output of the command is the same as that of '--check-options' for the modified configuration file. Examples: To set the force option, which is of basic type 'none (0)': $ echo 'force:0:1' | gpgconf --change-options dirmngr To delete the force option: $ echo 'force:16:' | gpgconf --change-options dirmngr The '--runtime' option can influence when the changes take effect.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Listing global options, Next: Querying versions, Prev: Changing options, Up: gpgconf 8.4.7 Listing global options ---------------------------- Sometimes it is useful for applications to look at the global options file 'gpgconf.conf'. The colon separated listing format is record oriented and uses the first field to identify the record type: 'k' This describes a key record to start the definition of a new ruleset for a user/group. The format of a key record is: 'k:USER:GROUP:' USER This is the user field of the key. It is percent escaped. See the definition of the gpgconf.conf format for details. GROUP This is the group field of the key. It is percent escaped. 'r' This describes a rule record. All rule records up to the next key record make up a rule set for that key. The format of a rule record is: 'r:::COMPONENT:OPTION:FLAG:VALUE:' COMPONENT This is the component part of a rule. It is a plain string. OPTION This is the option part of a rule. It is a plain string. FLAG This is the flags part of a rule. There may be only one flag per rule but by using the same component and option, several flags may be assigned to an option. It is a plain string. VALUE This is the optional value for the option. It is a percent escaped string with a single quotation mark to indicate a string. The quotation mark is only required to distinguish between no value specified and an empty string. Unknown record types should be ignored. Note that there is intentionally no feature to change the global option file through 'gpgconf'.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Querying versions, Next: Files used by gpgconf, Prev: Listing global options, Up: gpgconf 8.4.8 Get and compare software versions. ---------------------------------------- The GnuPG Project operates a server to query the current versions of software packages related to GnuPG. 'gpgconf' can be used to access this online database. To allow for offline operations, this feature works by having 'dirmngr' download a file from 'https://versions.gnupg.org', checking the signature of that file and storing the file in the GnuPG home directory. If 'gpgconf' is used and 'dirmngr' is running, it may ask 'dirmngr' to refresh that file before itself uses the file. The command '--query-swdb' returns information for the given package in a colon delimited format: NAME This is the name of the package as requested. Note that "gnupg" is a special name which is replaced by the actual package implementing this version of GnuPG. For this name it is also not required to specify a version because 'gpgconf' takes its own version in this case. IVERSION The currently installed version or an empty string. The value is taken from the command line argument but may be provided by gpg if not given. STATUS The status of the software package according to this table: '-' No information available. This is either because no current version has been specified or due to an error. '?' The given name is not known in the online database. 'u' An update of the software is available. 'c' The installed version of the software is current. 'n' The installed version is already newer than the released version. URGENCY If the value (the empty string should be considered as zero) is greater than zero an important update is available. ERROR This returns an 'gpg-error' error code to distinguish between various failure modes. FILEDATE This gives the date of the file with the version numbers in standard ISO format ('yyyymmddThhmmss'). The date has been extracted by 'dirmngr' from the signature of the file. VERIFIED This gives the date in ISO format the file was downloaded. This value can be used to evaluate the freshness of the information. VERSION This returns the version string for the requested software from the file. RELDATE This returns the release date in ISO format. SIZE This returns the size of the package as decimal number of bytes. HASH This returns a hexified SHA-2 hash of the package. More fields may be added in future to the output.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Files used by gpgconf, Prev: Querying versions, Up: gpgconf 8.4.9 Files used by gpgconf --------------------------- '/etc/gnupg/gpgconf.conf' If this file exists, it is processed as a global configuration file. A commented example can be found in the 'examples' directory of the distribution. 'GNUPGHOME/swdb.lst' A file with current software versions. 'dirmngr' creates this file on demand from an online resource.  File: gnupg.info, Node: applygnupgdefaults, Next: gpg-preset-passphrase, Prev: gpgconf, Up: Helper Tools 8.5 Run gpgconf for all users ============================= This script is a wrapper around 'gpgconf' to run it with the command '--apply-defaults' for all real users with an existing GnuPG home directory. Admins might want to use this script to update he GnuPG configuration files for all users after '/etc/gnupg/gpgconf.conf' has been changed. This allows enforcing certain policies for all users. Note, that this is not a bulletproof way to force a user to use certain options. A user may always directly edit the configuration files and bypass gpgconf. 'applygnupgdefaults' is invoked by root as: applygnupgdefaults  File: gnupg.info, Node: gpg-preset-passphrase, Next: gpg-connect-agent, Prev: applygnupgdefaults, Up: Helper Tools 8.6 Put a passphrase into the cache =================================== The 'gpg-preset-passphrase' is a utility to seed the internal cache of a running 'gpg-agent' with passphrases. It is mainly useful for unattended machines, where the usual 'pinentry' tool may not be used and the passphrases for the to be used keys are given at machine startup. Passphrases set with this utility don't expire unless the '--forget' option is used to explicitly clear them from the cache -- or 'gpg-agent' is either restarted or reloaded (by sending a SIGHUP to it). Note that the maximum cache time as set with '--max-cache-ttl' is still honored. It is necessary to allow this passphrase presetting by starting 'gpg-agent' with the '--allow-preset-passphrase'. * Menu: * Invoking gpg-preset-passphrase:: List of all commands and options.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Invoking gpg-preset-passphrase, Up: gpg-preset-passphrase 8.6.1 List of all commands and options -------------------------------------- 'gpg-preset-passphrase' is invoked this way: gpg-preset-passphrase [options] [command] CACHEID CACHEID is either a 40 character keygrip of hexadecimal characters identifying the key for which the passphrase should be set or cleared. The keygrip is listed along with the key when running the command: 'gpgsm --dump-secret-keys'. Alternatively an arbitrary string may be used to identify a passphrase; it is suggested that such a string is prefixed with the name of the application (e.g 'foo:12346'). One of the following command options must be given: '--preset' Preset a passphrase. This is what you usually will use. 'gpg-preset-passphrase' will then read the passphrase from 'stdin'. '--forget' Flush the passphrase for the given cache ID from the cache. The following additional options may be used: '-v' '--verbose' Output additional information while running. '-P STRING' '--passphrase STRING' Instead of reading the passphrase from 'stdin', use the supplied STRING as passphrase. Note that this makes the passphrase visible for other users.  File: gnupg.info, Node: gpg-connect-agent, Next: dirmngr-client, Prev: gpg-preset-passphrase, Up: Helper Tools 8.7 Communicate with a running agent ==================================== The 'gpg-connect-agent' is a utility to communicate with a running 'gpg-agent'. It is useful to check out the commands 'gpg-agent' provides using the Assuan interface. It might also be useful for scripting simple applications. Input is expected at stdin and output gets printed to stdout. It is very similar to running 'gpg-agent' in server mode; but here we connect to a running instance. * Menu: * Invoking gpg-connect-agent:: List of all options. * Controlling gpg-connect-agent:: Control commands.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Invoking gpg-connect-agent, Next: Controlling gpg-connect-agent, Up: gpg-connect-agent 8.7.1 List of all options ------------------------- 'gpg-connect-agent' is invoked this way: gpg-connect-agent [options] [commands] The following options may be used: '-v' '--verbose' Output additional information while running. '-q' '--quiet' Try to be as quiet as possible. '--homedir DIR' Set the name of the home directory to DIR. If this option is not used, the home directory defaults to '~/.gnupg'. It is only recognized when given on the command line. It also overrides any home directory stated through the environment variable 'GNUPGHOME' or (on Windows systems) by means of the Registry entry HKCU\SOFTWARE\GNU\GNUPG:HOMEDIR. On Windows systems it is possible to install GnuPG as a portable application. In this case only this command line option is considered, all other ways to set a home directory are ignored. To install GnuPG as a portable application under Windows, create an empty file named 'gpgconf.ctl' in the same directory as the tool 'gpgconf.exe'. The root of the installation is then that directory; or, if 'gpgconf.exe' has been installed directly below a directory named 'bin', its parent directory. You also need to make sure that the following directories exist and are writable: 'ROOT/home' for the GnuPG home and 'ROOT/usr/local/var/cache/gnupg' for internal cache files. '--agent-program FILE' Specify the agent program to be started if none is running. The default value is determined by running 'gpgconf' with the option '--list-dirs'. Note that the pipe symbol ('|') is used for a regression test suite hack and may thus not be used in the file name. '--dirmngr-program FILE' Specify the directory manager (keyserver client) program to be started if none is running. This has only an effect if used together with the option '--dirmngr'. '--dirmngr' Connect to a running directory manager (keyserver client) instead of to the gpg-agent. If a dirmngr is not running, start it. '-S' '--raw-socket NAME' Connect to socket NAME assuming this is an Assuan style server. Do not run any special initializations or environment checks. This may be used to directly connect to any Assuan style socket server. '-E' '--exec' Take the rest of the command line as a program and it's arguments and execute it as an Assuan server. Here is how you would run 'gpgsm': gpg-connect-agent --exec gpgsm --server Note that you may not use options on the command line in this case. '--no-ext-connect' When using '-S' or '--exec', 'gpg-connect-agent' connects to the Assuan server in extended mode to allow descriptor passing. This option makes it use the old mode. '--no-autostart' Do not start the gpg-agent or the dirmngr if it has not yet been started. '-r FILE' '--run FILE' Run the commands from FILE at startup and then continue with the regular input method. Note, that commands given on the command line are executed after this file. '-s' '--subst' Run the command '/subst' at startup. '--hex' Print data lines in a hex format and the ASCII representation of non-control characters. '--decode' Decode data lines. That is to remove percent escapes but make sure that a new line always starts with a D and a space.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Controlling gpg-connect-agent, Prev: Invoking gpg-connect-agent, Up: gpg-connect-agent 8.7.2 Control commands ---------------------- While reading Assuan commands, gpg-agent also allows a few special commands to control its operation. These control commands all start with a slash ('/'). '/echo ARGS' Just print ARGS. '/let NAME VALUE' Set the variable NAME to VALUE. Variables are only substituted on the input if the '/subst' has been used. Variables are referenced by prefixing the name with a dollar sign and optionally include the name in curly braces. The rules for a valid name are identically to those of the standard bourne shell. This is not yet enforced but may be in the future. When used with curly braces no leading or trailing white space is allowed. If a variable is not found, it is searched in the environment and if found copied to the table of variables. Variable functions are available: The name of the function must be followed by at least one space and the at least one argument. The following functions are available: 'get' Return a value described by the argument. Available arguments are: 'cwd' The current working directory. 'homedir' The gnupg homedir. 'sysconfdir' GnuPG's system configuration directory. 'bindir' GnuPG's binary directory. 'libdir' GnuPG's library directory. 'libexecdir' GnuPG's library directory for executable files. 'datadir' GnuPG's data directory. 'serverpid' The PID of the current server. Command '/serverpid' must have been given to return a useful value. 'unescape ARGS' Remove C-style escapes from ARGS. Note that '\0' and '\x00' terminate the returned string implicitly. The string to be converted are the entire arguments right behind the delimiting space of the function name. 'unpercent ARGS' 'unpercent+ ARGS' Remove percent style escaping from ARGS. Note that '%00' terminates the string implicitly. The string to be converted are the entire arguments right behind the delimiting space of the function name. 'unpercent+' also maps plus signs to a spaces. 'percent ARGS' 'percent+ ARGS' Escape the ARGS using percent style escaping. Tabs, formfeeds, linefeeds, carriage returns and colons are escaped. 'percent+' also maps spaces to plus signs. 'errcode ARG' 'errsource ARG' 'errstring ARG' Assume ARG is an integer and evaluate it using 'strtol'. Return the gpg-error error code, error source or a formatted string with the error code and error source. '+' '-' '*' '/' '%' Evaluate all arguments as long integers using 'strtol' and apply this operator. A division by zero yields an empty string. '!' '|' '&' Evaluate all arguments as long integers using 'strtol' and apply the logical operators NOT, OR or AND. The NOT operator works on the last argument only. '/definq NAME VAR' Use content of the variable VAR for inquiries with NAME. NAME may be an asterisk ('*') to match any inquiry. '/definqfile NAME FILE' Use content of FILE for inquiries with NAME. NAME may be an asterisk ('*') to match any inquiry. '/definqprog NAME PROG' Run PROG for inquiries matching NAME and pass the entire line to it as command line arguments. '/datafile NAME' Write all data lines from the server to the file NAME. The file is opened for writing and created if it does not exists. An existing file is first truncated to 0. The data written to the file fully decoded. Using a single dash for NAME writes to stdout. The file is kept open until a new file is set using this command or this command is used without an argument. '/showdef' Print all definitions '/cleardef' Delete all definitions '/sendfd FILE MODE' Open FILE in MODE (which needs to be a valid 'fopen' mode string) and send the file descriptor to the server. This is usually followed by a command like 'INPUT FD' to set the input source for other commands. '/recvfd' Not yet implemented. '/open VAR FILE [MODE]' Open FILE and assign the file descriptor to VAR. Warning: This command is experimental and might change in future versions. '/close FD' Close the file descriptor FD. Warning: This command is experimental and might change in future versions. '/showopen' Show a list of open files. '/serverpid' Send the Assuan command 'GETINFO pid' to the server and store the returned PID for internal purposes. '/sleep' Sleep for a second. '/hex' '/nohex' Same as the command line option '--hex'. '/decode' '/nodecode' Same as the command line option '--decode'. '/subst' '/nosubst' Enable and disable variable substitution. It defaults to disabled unless the command line option '--subst' has been used. If /subst as been enabled once, leading whitespace is removed from input lines which makes scripts easier to read. '/while CONDITION' '/end' These commands provide a way for executing loops. All lines between the 'while' and the corresponding 'end' are executed as long as the evaluation of CONDITION yields a non-zero value or is the string 'true' or 'yes'. The evaluation is done by passing CONDITION to the 'strtol' function. Example: /subst /let i 3 /while $i /echo loop couter is $i /let i ${- $i 1} /end '/if CONDITION' '/end' These commands provide a way for conditional execution. All lines between the 'if' and the corresponding 'end' are executed only if the evaluation of CONDITION yields a non-zero value or is the string 'true' or 'yes'. The evaluation is done by passing CONDITION to the 'strtol' function. '/run FILE' Run commands from FILE. '/bye' Terminate the connection and the program. '/help' Print a list of available control commands.  File: gnupg.info, Node: dirmngr-client, Next: gpgparsemail, Prev: gpg-connect-agent, Up: Helper Tools 8.8 The Dirmngr Client Tool =========================== The 'dirmngr-client' is a simple tool to contact a running dirmngr and test whether a certificate has been revoked -- either by being listed in the corresponding CRL or by running the OCSP protocol. If no dirmngr is running, a new instances will be started but this is in general not a good idea due to the huge performance overhead. The usual way to run this tool is either: dirmngr-client ACERT or dirmngr-client example.com.cert-req.pem Please select what kind of key you want: (1) RSA (2) Existing key (3) Existing key from card Your selection? 1 I opted for creating a new RSA key. The other option is to use an already existing key, by selecting '2' and entering the so-called keygrip. Running the command 'gpgsm --dump-secret-key USERID' shows you this keygrip. Using '3' offers another menu to create a certificate directly from a smart card based key. Let's continue: What keysize do you want? (2048) Requested keysize is 2048 bits Hitting enter chooses the default RSA key size of 2048 bits. Smaller keys are too weak on the modern Internet. If you choose a larger (stronger) key, your server will need to do more work. Possible actions for a RSA key: (1) sign, encrypt (2) sign (3) encrypt Your selection? 1 Selecting "sign" enables use of the key for Diffie-Hellman key exchange mechanisms (DHE and ECDHE) in TLS, which are preferred because they offer forward secrecy. Selecting "encrypt" enables RSA key exchange mechanisms, which are still common in some places. Selecting both enables both key exchange mechanisms. Now for some real data: Enter the X.509 subject name: CN=example.com This is the most important value for a server certificate. Enter here the canonical name of your server machine. You may add other virtual server names later. E-Mail addresses (end with an empty line): > We don't need email addresses in a TLS server certificate and CAcert would anyway ignore such a request. Thus just hit enter. If you want to create a client certificate for email encryption, this would be the place to enter your mail address (e.g. ). You may enter as many addresses as you like, however the CA may not accept them all or reject the entire request. Enter DNS names (optional; end with an empty line): > example.com > www.example.com > Here I entered the names of the services which the machine actually provides. You almost always want to include the canonical name here too. The browser will accept a certificate for any of these names. As usual the CA must approve all of these names. URIs (optional; end with an empty line): > It is possible to insert arbitrary URIs into a certificate; for a server certificate this does not make sense. Create self-signed certificate? (y/N) Since we are creating a certificate signing request, and not a full certificate, we answer no here, or just hit enter for the default. We have now entered all required information and 'gpgsm' will display what it has gathered and ask whether to create the certificate request: These parameters are used: Key-Type: RSA Key-Length: 2048 Key-Usage: sign, encrypt Name-DN: CN=example.com Name-DNS: example.com Name-DNS: www.example.com Proceed with creation? (y/N) y 'gpgsm' will now start working on creating the request. As this includes the creation of an RSA key it may take a while. During this time you will be asked 3 times for a passphrase to protect the created private key on your system. A pop up window will appear to ask for it. The first two prompts are for the new passphrase and for re-entering it; the third one is required to actually create the certificate signing request. When it is ready, you should see the final notice: Ready. You should now send this request to your CA. Now, you may look at the created request: $ cat example.com.cert-req.pem -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- MIIClTCCAX0CAQAwFjEUMBIGA1UEAxMLZXhhbXBsZS5jb20wggEiMA0GCSqGSIb3 DQEBAQUAA4IBDwAwggEKAoIBAQDP1QEcbTvOLLCX4gAoOzH9AW7jNOMj7OSOL0uW h2bCdkK5YVpnX212Z6COTC3ZG0pJiCeGt1TbbDJUlTa4syQ6JXavjK66N8ASZsyC Rwcl0m6hbXp541t1dbgt2VgeGk25okWw3j+brw6zxLD2TnthJxOatID0lDIG47HW GqzZmA6WHbIBIONmGnReIHTpPAPCDm92vUkpKG1xLPszuRmsQbwEl870W/FHrsvm DPvVUUSdIvTV9NuRt7/WY6G4nPp9QlIuTf1ESPzIuIE91gKPdrRCAx0yuT708S1n xCv3ETQ/bKPoAQ67eE3mPBqkcVwv9SE/2/36Lz06kAizRgs5AgMBAAGgOjA4Bgkq hkiG9w0BCQ4xKzApMCcGA1UdEQQgMB6CC2V4YW1wbGUuY29tgg93d3cuZXhhbXBs ZS5jb20wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQADggEBAEWD0Qqz4OENLYp6yyO/KqF0ig9FDsLN b5/R+qhms5qlhdB5+Dh+j693Sj0UgbcNKc6JT86IuBqEBZmRCJuXRoKoo5aMS1cJ hXga7N9IA3qb4VBUzBWvlL92U2Iptr/cEbikFlYZF2Zv3PBv8RfopVlI3OLbKV9D bJJTt/6kuoydXKo/Vx4G0DFzIKNdFdJk86o/Ziz8NOs9JjZxw9H9VY5sHKFM5LKk VcLwnnLRlNjBGB+9VK/Tze575eG0cJomTp7UGIB+1xzIQVAhUZOizRDv9tHDeaK3 k+tUhV0kuJcYHucpJycDSrP/uAY5zuVJ0rs2QSjdnav62YrRgEsxJrU= -----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- $ You may now proceed by logging into your account at the CAcert website, choose 'Server Certificates - New', check 'sign by class 3 root certificate', paste the above request block into the text field and click on 'Submit'.

All modern POSIX systems should be supported right now, however there are probably a lot of smaller glitches we need to fix first. The major problem areas are: * We are planning to use file descriptor passing for interprocess communication. This will allow us save a lot of resources and improve performance of certain operations a lot. Systems not supporting this won't gain these benefits but we try to keep them working the standard way as it is done today. * We require more or less full POSIX compatibility. This has been around for 15 years now and thus we don't believe it makes sense to support non POSIX systems anymore. Well, we of course the usual workarounds for near POSIX systems well be applied. There is one exception of this rule: Systems based the Microsoft Windows API (called here _W32_) will be supported to some extend. * Menu: * W32 Notes:: Microsoft Windows Notes  File: gnupg.info, Node: W32 Notes, Up: System Notes 10.1 Microsoft Windows Notes ============================ Current limitations are: * 'gpgconf' does not create backup files, so in case of trouble your configuration file might get lost. * 'watchgnupg' is not available. Logging to sockets is not possible. * The periodical smartcard status checking done by 'scdaemon' is not yet supported.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Debugging, Next: Copying, Prev: System Notes, Up: Top 11 How to solve problems ************************ Everyone knows that software often does not do what it should do and thus there is a need to track down problems. We call this debugging in a reminiscent to the moth jamming a relay in a Mark II box back in 1947. Most of the problems a merely configuration and user problems but nevertheless they are the most annoying ones and responsible for many gray hairs. We try to give some guidelines here on how to identify and solve the problem at hand. * Menu: * Debugging Tools:: Description of some useful tools. * Debugging Hints:: Various hints on debugging. * Common Problems:: Commonly seen problems. * Architecture Details:: How the whole thing works internally.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Debugging Tools, Next: Debugging Hints, Up: Debugging 11.1 Debugging Tools ==================== The GnuPG distribution comes with a couple of tools, useful to help find and solving problems. * Menu: * kbxutil:: Scrutinizing a keybox file.  File: gnupg.info, Node: kbxutil, Up: Debugging Tools 11.1.1 Scrutinizing a keybox file --------------------------------- A keybox is a file format used to store public keys along with meta information and indices. The commonly used one is the file 'pubring.kbx' in the '.gnupg' directory. It contains all X.509 certificates as well as OpenPGP keys(1). When called the standard way, e.g.: 'kbxutil ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx' it lists all records (called blobs) with there meta-information in a human readable format. To see statistics on the keybox in question, run it using 'kbxutil --stats ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx' and you get an output like: Total number of blobs: 99 header: 1 empty: 0 openpgp: 0 x509: 98 non flagged: 81 secret flagged: 0 ephemeral flagged: 17 In this example you see that the keybox does not have any OpenPGP keys but contains 98 X.509 certificates and a total of 17 keys or certificates are flagged as ephemeral, meaning that they are only temporary stored (cached) in the keybox and won't get listed using the usual commands provided by 'gpgsm' or 'gpg'. 81 certificates are stored in a standard way and directly available from 'gpgsm'. To find duplicated certificates and keyblocks in a keybox file (this should not occur but sometimes things go wrong), run it using 'kbxutil --find-dups ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx' ---------- Footnotes ---------- (1) Well, OpenPGP keys are not implemented, 'gpg' still used the keyring file 'pubring.gpg'.  File: gnupg.info, Node: Debugging Hints, Next: Common Problems, Prev: Debugging Tools, Up: Debugging 11.2 Various hints on debugging =============================== * How to find the IP address of a keyserver If a round robin URL of is used for a keyserver (e.g. subkeys.gnupg.org); it is not easy to see what server is actually used. Using the keyserver debug option as in gpg --keyserver-options debug=1 -v --refresh-key 1E42B367 is thus often helpful. Note that the actual output depends on the backend and may change from release to release. * Logging on WindowsCE For development, the best logging method on WindowsCE is the use of remote debugging using a log file name of 'tcp://:'. The command 'watchgnupg' may be used on the remote host to listen on the given port (*note option watchgnupg --tcp::). For in the field tests it is better to make use of the logging facility provided by the 'gpgcedev' driver (part of libassuan); this is enabled by using a log file name of 'GPG2:' (*note option --log-file::).  File: gnupg.info, Node: Common Problems, Next: Architecture Details, Prev: Debugging Hints, Up: Debugging 11.3 Commonly Seen Problems =========================== * Error code 'Not supported' from Dirmngr Most likely the option 'enable-ocsp' is active for gpgsm but Dirmngr's OCSP feature has not been enabled using 'allow-ocsp' in 'dirmngr.conf'. * The Curses based Pinentry does not work The far most common reason for this is that the environment variable 'GPG_TTY' has not been set correctly. Make sure that it has been set to a real tty device and not just to '/dev/tty'; i.e. 'GPG_TTY=tty' is plainly wrong; what you want is 'GPG_TTY=`tty`' -- note the back ticks. Also make sure that this environment variable gets exported, that is you should follow up the setting with an 'export GPG_TTY' (assuming a Bourne style shell). Even for GUI based Pinentries; you should have set 'GPG_TTY'. See the section on installing the 'gpg-agent' on how to do it. * SSH hangs while a popping up pinentry was expected SSH has no way to tell the gpg-agent what terminal or X display it is running on. So when remotely logging into a box where a gpg-agent with SSH support is running, the pinentry will get popped up on whatever display the gpg-agent has been started. To solve this problem you may issue the command echo UPDATESTARTUPTTY | gpg-connect-agent and the next pinentry will pop up on your display or screen. However, you need to kill the running pinentry first because only one pinentry may be running at once. If you plan to use ssh on a new display you should issue the above command before invoking ssh or any other service making use of ssh. * Exporting a secret key without a certificate It may happen that you have created a certificate request using 'gpgsm' but not yet received and imported the certificate from the CA. However, you want to export the secret key to another machine right now to import the certificate over there then. You can do this with a little trick but it requires that you know the approximate time you created the signing request. By running the command ls -ltr ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d you get a listing of all private keys under control of 'gpg-agent'. Pick the key which best matches the creation time and run the command /usr/local/libexec/gpg-protect-tool --p12-export \ ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/FOO >FOO.p12 (Please adjust the path to 'gpg-protect-tool' to the appropriate location). FOO is the name of the key file you picked (it should have the suffix '.key'). A Pinentry box will pop up and ask you for the current passphrase of the key and a new passphrase to protect it in the pkcs#12 file. To import the created file on the machine you use this command: /usr/local/libexec/gpg-protect-tool --p12-import --store FOO.p12 You will be asked for the pkcs#12 passphrase and a new passphrase to protect the imported private key at its new location. Note that there is no easy way to match existing certificates with stored private keys because some private keys are used for Secure Shell or other purposes and don't have a corresponding certificate. * A root certificate does not verify A common problem is that the root certificate misses the required basicConstraints attribute and thus 'gpgsm' rejects this certificate. An error message indicating "no value" is a sign for such a certificate. You may use the 'relax' flag in 'trustlist.txt' to accept the certificate anyway. Note that the fingerprint and this flag may only be added manually to 'trustlist.txt'. * Error message: "digest algorithm N has not been enabled" The signature is broken. You may try the option '--extra-digest-algo SHA256' to workaround the problem. The number N is the internal algorithm identifier; for example 8 refers to SHA-256. * The Windows version does not work under Wine When running the W32 version of 'gpg' under Wine you may get an error messages like: gpg: fatal: WriteConsole failed: Access denied The solution is to use the command 'wineconsole'. Some operations like '--generate-key' really want to talk to the console directly for increased security (for example to prevent the passphrase from appearing on the screen). So, you should use 'wineconsole' instead of 'wine', which will launch a windows console that implements those additional features. * Why does GPG's -search-key list weird keys? For performance reasons the keyservers do not check the keys the same way 'gpg' does. It may happen that the listing of keys available on the keyservers shows keys with wrong user IDs or with user Ids from other keys. If you try to import this key, the bad keys or bad user ids won't get imported, though. This is a bit unfortunate but we can't do anything about it without actually downloading the keys.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. Preamble ======== The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works. The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program-to make sure it remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions. Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. TERMS AND CONDITIONS 0. Definitions. "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks. "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and "recipients" may be individuals or organizations. To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program. To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well. To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. 1. Source Code. The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source form of a work. A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language. The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form. A "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work. The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work. 2. Basic Permissions. All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary. 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures. When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures. 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a. The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date. b. The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to "keep intact all notices". c. You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. d. If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so. A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate. 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways: a. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange. b. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. c. Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b. d. Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. e. Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d. A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work. A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product. "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made. If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM). The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network. Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying. 7. Additional Terms. "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions. When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: a. Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or b. Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or c. Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original version; or d. Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or e. Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or f. Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors. All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying. If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms. Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way. 8. Termination. You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11). However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation. Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice. Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10. 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. 11. Patents. A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License. Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version. In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party. If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid. If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it. A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such. 14. Revised Versions of this License. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program. Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version. 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 16. Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs ============================================= If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. ONE LINE TO GIVE THE PROGRAM'S NAME AND A BRIEF IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES. Copyright (C) YEAR NAME OF AUTHOR This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details. You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program. If not, see . Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: PROGRAM Copyright (C) YEAR NAME OF AUTHOR This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type 'show c' for details. The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box". You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see . The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. But first, please read .

File: gnupg.info, Node: Glossary, Next: Option Index, Prev: Contributors, Up: Top Glossary ******** 'ARL' The _Authority Revocation List_ is technical identical to a CRL but used for CAs and not for end user certificates. 'Chain model' Verification model for X.509 which uses the creation date of a signature as the date the validation starts and in turn checks that each certificate has been issued within the time frame, the issuing certificate was valid. This allows the verification of signatures after the CA's certificate expired. The validation test also required an online check of the certificate status. The chain model is required by the German signature law. See also _Shell model_. 'CMS' The _Cryptographic Message Standard_ describes a message format for encryption and digital signing. It is closely related to the X.509 certificate format. CMS was formerly known under the name 'PKCS#7' and is described by 'RFC3369'. 'CRL' The _Certificate Revocation List_ is a list containing certificates revoked by the issuer. 'CSR' The _Certificate Signing Request_ is a message send to a CA to ask them to issue a new certificate. The data format of such a signing request is called PCKS#10. 'OpenPGP' A data format used to build a PKI and to exchange encrypted or signed messages. In contrast to X.509, OpenPGP also includes the message format but does not explicitly demand a specific PKI. However any kind of PKI may be build upon the OpenPGP protocol. 'Keygrip' This term is used by GnuPG to describe a 20 byte hash value used to identify a certain key without referencing to a concrete protocol. It is used internally to access a private key. Usually it is shown and entered as a 40 character hexadecimal formatted string. 'OCSP' The _Online Certificate Status Protocol_ is used as an alternative to a CRL. It is described in 'RFC 2560'. 'PSE' The _Personal Security Environment_ describes a database to store private keys. This is either a smartcard or a collection of files on a disk; the latter is often called a Soft-PSE. 'Shell model' The standard model for validation of certificates under X.509. At the time of the verification all certificates must be valid and not expired. See also _Chain model_. 'X.509' Description of a PKI used with CMS. It is for example defined by 'RFC3280'.
