Although it does a little for security, it will help to protect from unwanted server-side
modifications and bugs. And now we have a time to test "multipart/signed" messages compatibility
with other MUAs.
.expect() may panic, which is probably not what we want here.
it seems better to bubble up the error (as we are doing in the other cases)
(i was checking some .expect usages after we had a similar issue at #3264)
- Replace .ok_or_else() and .map_err() with anyhow::Context where possible.
- Use .context() to check Option for None when it's an error
- Resultify Chatlist.get_chat_id()
- Add useful .context() to some errors
- IMAP error handling cleanup
This removes the proxy via crate::error to depend on anyhow directly.
There is no benefit to this indirection and this makes it simpler to
see which error types are used.
This uses the Fingerprint type more consistenly when handling
fingerprits rather then have various string representations passed
around and sometimes converted back and forth with slight differences
in strictness.
It fixes an important bug in the existing, but until now unused,
parsing behaviour of Fingerprint. It also adds a default length check
on the fingerprint as that was checked in some existing places.
Fially generating keys is no longer expensive, so let's not ignore
these tests.
This moves both the Keyring and the fingerprints to the DcKey trait,
unfortunately I was not able to disentangle these two changes. The
Keyring now ensures only the right kind of key is added to it.
The keyring now uses the DcKey::load_self method rather than
re-implement the SQL to load keys from the database. This vastly
simpliefies the use and fixes an error where a failed key load or
unconfigured would result in the message being treated as plain text
and benefits from the in-line key generation path.
For the fingerprint a new type representing it is introduced. The aim
is to replace more fingerpring uses with this type as now there are
various string representations being passed around and converted
between. The Display trait is used for the space-separated and
multiline format, which is perhaps not the most obvious but seems
right together with FromStr etc.
This moves the loading of the keys from the database to the trait and
thus with types differing between public and secret keys. This
fetches the Config::ConfiguredAddr (configured_addr) directly from the
database in the SQL to simplify the API and consistency instead of
making this the responsiblity of all callers to get this right.
Since anyone invoking these methods also wants to be sure the keys
exist, move key generation here as well. This already simplifies some
code in contact.rs and will eventually replace all manual checks for
existing keys.
To make errors more manageable this gives EmailAddress it's own error
type and adds some conversions for it. Otherwise the general error
type leaks to far. The EmailAddress type also gets its ToSql trait impl
to be able to save it to the database directly.
after fixing some issues wrt ecc keys, see #1319,
and waiting some time (three core releases, two ios/android/desktop releases),
it is now the time to switch again to ecc keys again,
after the first attempt was stopped in #1319
the currently released versions fail sometimes in encrypting to ecc keys,
see #1313, the issue is about to be fixed,
however, we should not generate ecc keys until the
fix is rolled out - otherwise new users will get encryption errors every some
messages if their counterpart is not yet using the most recent version.
we can start generating ecc keys a few weeks after the fix is rolled out.
The user-visible change here is that it allows the FFI API to save
keys in the database for a context. This is primarily intended for
testing purposes as it allows you to get a key without having to
generate it.
Internally the most important change is to start using the
SignedPublicKey and SignedPrivateKey types from rpgp instead of
wrapping them into a single Key object. This allows APIs to be
specific about which they want instead of having to do runtime checks
like .is_public() or so. This means some of the functionality of the
Key impl now needs to be a trait.
A thid API change is to introduce the KeyPair struct, which binds
together the email address, public and private key for a keypair.
All these changes result in a bunch of cleanups, though more more
should be done to completely replace the Key type with the
SignedPublicKye/SignedPrivateKey + traits. But this change is large
enough already.
Testing-wise this adds two new keys which can be loaded from disk and
and avoids a few more key-generating tests. The encrypt/decrypt tests
are moved from the stress tests into the pgp tests and split up.
First, try to use subkeys, because they are usually
short-term encryption keys. If none of the subkeys
are encryption keys, try to use the primary key.
rPGP is updated to the master branch because the
latest release does not have .is_encryption_key() yet.
