Integration tests fails with PGP interop for ECC keys ( gpg: decryption failed: No secret key) #30

neuhalje · 2018-12-29T12:16:07Z

Describe the bug
The integration tests with gpg fail for exporting BouncyGPG generated private ECC keys to gpg.

To Reproduce
Failing test for ECC keyrings, although RSA keyrings work.

Expected behavior
The tests should succeed

System:

OS: MacOS
Java [output of java -version]: openjdk version "11" 2018-09-25
Version [e.g. 2.1.2]: commit 3af038f
gpg: gpg (GnuPG/MacGPG2) 2.2.10 with libgcrypt 1.8.3

Additional context

The exported keys:

@vanitasvitae : This very likely also affects pgpainless. Do you have any idea?

Hm, I think I haven't come across this one yet. I'll check, if PGPainless is also affected later :)

I'm really puzzled about this... This is the third time I try to compose this post, but everytime I do, another error happens/doesn't happen :D

I think PGPainless is affected by this somehow. When I try to recreate this, I get an error like the one you stated above about half the time. The other runs are fine (now I cannot recreate the bug at all). Have you run your test repeatedly?

Here is a key I generated with pgpainless, that seems to work fine for me (although it failed when I imported it in GPG the first time? 🤔):

An encrypted message:

Which version of bouncycastle are you using? There was a bug that caused exported keys to have a broken format in BC 1.59.

neuhalje · 2019-01-02T16:51:24Z

Reproducible

The integration test (git clone https://github.com/neuhalje/bouncy-gpg.git ; ./gradlew integrationTest --info; log in build/reports/tests/integrationTest/index.html ) fails consistently. Even when I change the key generation (RSA with subkeys) the result stays the same (RSA works, ECC fails).

BC version

I use bouncy castle 1.60 AND your repairSubkeyPackets.

repairSubkeyPackets warnings

I took your repairSubkeyPackets code. If I understood you correctly, it should not be needed in BC 1.60.

code
called here

The correct key formt according to repairSubkeyPackets is even tested for
in the tests. With BC 1.60 these tests fail, when I remove the call to repairSubkeyPackets -- which means that either the bug in BC is not fixed, or your fix did not work (or I borked it ;-)). Removing the fix from the code by commenting out here still fails the integration test.

Your key

The key works without errors:

Note: The bug I pointed out is not related to bcgit/bc-java#349 but a different bug, which was merged after BC 60 was released.

@vanitasvitae: thanks for the clarification

Edit: The error happens with ECC keys, protected with a passphrase or not. Both tests with ECC keys fail.
