Due to the caching done by the Dirmngr, there will not be +any noticeable performance gain. Note, that this also disables possible +OCSP checks for trusted root certificates. A more specific way of +disabling this check is by adding the ``relax'' keyword to the root CA +line of the @file{trustlist.txt} + + +@item --force-crl-refresh +@opindex force-crl-refresh +Tell the dirmngr to reload the CRL for each request. For better +performance, the dirmngr will actually optimize this by suppressing +the loading for short time intervals (e.g. 30 minutes). This option +is useful to make sure that a fresh CRL is available for certificates +hold in the keybox. The suggested way of doing this is by using it +along with the option @option{--with-validation} for a key listing +command. This option should not be used in a configuration file. + +@item --enable-issuer-based-crl-check +@opindex enable-issuer-based-crl-check +Run a CRL check even for certificates which do not have any CRL +distribution point.

The enable option may +be used to enable OCSP checks via Dirmngr. If @acronym{CRL} checks +are also enabled, CRLs will be used as a fallback if for some reason an +OCSP request will not succeed. Note, that you have to allow OCSP +requests in Dirmngr's configuration too (option +@option{--allow-ocsp}) and configure Dirmngr properly.

If this is the +case the user will be informed that the verified signature represents a +legally binding (``qualified'') signature. When creating a signature +using such a certificate an extra prompt will be issued to let the user +confirm that such a legally binding signature shall really be created. + +Because this software has not yet been approved for use with such +certificates, appropriate notices will be shown to indicate this fact. + +@item help.txt +@efindex help.txt +This is plain text file with a few help entries used with +@command{pinentry} as well as a large list of help items for +@command{gpg} and @command{gpgsm}.

Checking a signature is not as simple as it may sound and +so the operation is a bit complicated. In most cases it is required +to look at several status lines. Here is a table of all cases a signed +message may have: + +@table @asis +@item The signature is valid +This does mean that the signature has been successfully verified, the +certificates are all sane. However there are two subcases with +important information: One of the certificates may have expired or a +signature of a message itself as expired. It is a sound practise to +consider such a signature still as valid but additional information +should be displayed. Depending on the subcase @command{gpgsm} will issue +these status codes: + @table @asis + @item signature valid and nothing did expire + @code{GOODSIG}, @code{VALIDSIG}, @code{TRUST_FULLY} + @item signature valid but at least one certificate has expired + @code{EXPKEYSIG}, @code{VALIDSIG}, @code{TRUST_FULLY} + @item signature valid but expired + @code{EXPSIG}, @code{VALIDSIG}, @code{TRUST_FULLY} + Note, that this case is currently not implemented. + @end table + +@item The signature is invalid +This means that the signature verification failed (this is an indication +of a transfer error, a program error or tampering with the message). +@command{gpgsm} issues one of these status codes sequences: + @table @code + @item @code{BADSIG} + @item @code{GOODSIG}, @code{VALIDSIG} @code{TRUST_NEVER} + @end table + +@item Error verifying a signature +For some reason the signature could not be verified, i.e. it cannot be +decided whether the signature is valid or invalid. A common reason for +this is a missing certificate. + +@end table + +@node CSR and certificate creation +@subsection CSR and certificate creation + +The command @option{--generate-key} may be used along with the option +@option{--batch} to either create a certificate signing request (CSR) +or an X.509 certificate. This is controlled by a parameter file; the +format of this file is as follows: + +@itemize @bullet +@item Text only, line length is limited to about 1000 characters. +@item UTF-8 encoding must be used to specify non-ASCII characters. +@item Empty lines are ignored. +@item Leading and trailing while space is ignored. +@item A hash sign as the first non white space character indicates +a comment line. +@item Control statements are indicated by a leading percent sign, the +arguments are separated by white space from the keyword. +@item Parameters are specified by a keyword, followed by a colon. Arguments +are separated by white space. +@item The first parameter must be @samp{Key-Type}, control statements +may be placed anywhere. +@item +The order of the parameters does not matter except for @samp{Key-Type} +which must be the first parameter. The parameters are only used for +the generated CSR/certificate; parameters from previous sets are not +used. Some syntactically checks may be performed. +@item +Key generation takes place when either the end of the parameter file +is reached, the next @samp{Key-Type} parameter is encountered or at the +control statement @samp{%commit} is encountered. +@end itemize + +@noindent +Control statements: + +@table @asis + +@item %echo @var{text} +Print @var{text} as diagnostic. + +@item %dry-run +Suppress actual key generation (useful for syntax checking). + +@item %commit +Perform the key generation. Note that an implicit commit is done at +the next @asis{Key-Type} parameter. + +@c %certfile <filename> +@c [Not yet implemented!] +@c Do not write the certificate to the keyDB but to <filename>. +@c This must be given before the first +@c commit to take place, duplicate specification of the same filename +@c is ignored, the last filename before a commit is used. +@c The filename is used until a new filename is used (at commit points) +@c and all keys are written to that file. If a new filename is given, +@c this file is created (and overwrites an existing one). +@c Both control statements must be given. +@end table + +@noindent +General Parameters: + +@table @asis + +@item Key-Type: @var{algo} +Starts a new parameter block by giving the type of the primary +key. The algorithm must be capable of signing. This is a required +parameter. The only supported value for @var{algo} is @samp{rsa}. + +@item Key-Length: @var{nbits} +The requested length of a generated key in bits. Defaults to 3072. + +@item Key-Grip: @var{hexstring} +This is optional and used to generate a CSR or certificate for an +already existing key. Key-Length will be ignored when given. + +@item Key-Usage: @var{usage-list} +Space or comma delimited list of key usage, allowed values are +@samp{encrypt}, @samp{sign} and @samp{cert}. This is used to generate +the keyUsage extension. Please make sure that the algorithm is +capable of this usage. Default is to allow encrypt and sign. + +@item Name-DN: @var{subject-name} +This is the Distinguished Name (DN) of the subject in RFC-2253 format. + +@item Name-Email: @var{string} +This is an email address for the altSubjectName. This parameter is +optional but may occur several times to add several email addresses to +a certificate. + +@item Name-DNS: @var{string} +The is an DNS name for the altSubjectName. This parameter is optional +but may occur several times to add several DNS names to a certificate. + +@item Name-URI: @var{string} +This is an URI for the altSubjectName. This parameter is optional but +may occur several times to add several URIs to a certificate. +@end table + +@noindent +Additional parameters used to create a certificate (in contrast to a +certificate signing request): + +@table @asis + +@item Serial: @var{sn} +If this parameter is given an X.509 certificate will be generated. +@var{sn} is expected to be a hex string representing an unsigned +integer of arbitrary length. The special value @samp{random} can be +used to create a 64 bit random serial number. + +@item Issuer-DN: @var{issuer-name} +This is the DN name of the issuer in RFC-2253 format. If it is not set +it will default to the subject DN and a special GnuPG extension will +be included in the certificate to mark it as a standalone certificate. + +@item Creation-Date: @var{iso-date} +@itemx Not-Before: @var{iso-date} +Set the notBefore date of the certificate. Either a date like +@samp{1986-04-26} or @samp{1986-04-26 12:00} or a standard ISO +timestamp like @samp{19860426T042640} may be used. The time is +considered to be UTC. If it is not given the current date is used. + +@item Expire-Date: @var{iso-date} +@itemx Not-After: @var{iso-date} +Set the notAfter date of the certificate. Either a date like +@samp{2063-04-05} or @samp{2063-04-05 17:00} or a standard ISO +timestamp like @samp{20630405T170000} may be used. The time is +considered to be UTC. If it is not given a default value in the not +too far future is used. + +@item Signing-Key: @var{keygrip} +This gives the keygrip of the key used to sign the certificate. If it +is not given a self-signed certificate will be created. For +compatibility with future versions, it is suggested to prefix the +keygrip with a @samp{&}. + +@item Hash-Algo: @var{hash-algo} +Use @var{hash-algo} for this CSR or certificate. The supported hash +algorithms are: @samp{sha1}, @samp{sha256}, @samp{sha384} and +@samp{sha512}; they may also be specified with uppercase letters.

If this is a valid and trusted recipient the server +does respond with OK, otherwise the return is an ERR with the reason why +the recipient cannot be used, the encryption will then not be done for +this recipient. If the policy is not to encrypt at all if not all +recipients are valid, the client has to take care of this. All +@code{RECIPIENT} commands are cumulative until a @code{RESET} or an +successful @code{ENCRYPT} command. + +@example + INPUT FD[=@var{n}] [--armor|--base64|--binary] +@end example + +Set the file descriptor for the message to be encrypted to @var{n}. +Obviously the pipe must be open at that point, the server establishes +its own end.

If none of these options is used, the server +tries to figure out the used encoding, but this may not always be +correct. + +@example + OUTPUT FD[=@var{n}] [--armor|--base64] +@end example + +Set the file descriptor to be used for the output (i.e. the encrypted +message). Obviously the pipe must be open at that point, the server +establishes its own end. If the server returns an error the client +should consider this session failed. + +The option @option{--armor} encodes the output in @acronym{PEM} format, the +@option{--base64} option applies just a base-64 encoding. No option +creates binary output (@acronym{BER}). + +The actual encryption is done using the command + +@example + ENCRYPT +@end example + +It takes the plaintext from the @code{INPUT} command, writes to the +ciphertext to the file descriptor set with the @code{OUTPUT} command, +take the recipients from all the recipients set so far. If this command +fails the clients should try to delete all output currently done or +otherwise mark it as invalid. @command{GPGSM} does ensure that there +will not be any +security problem with leftover data on the output in this case. + +This command should in general not fail, as all necessary checks have +been done while setting the recipients. The input and output pipes are +closed. + + +@node GPGSM DECRYPT +@subsection Decrypting a message + +Input and output FDs are set the same way as in encryption, but +@code{INPUT} refers to the ciphertext and @code{OUTPUT} to the plaintext. There +is no need to set recipients. @command{GPGSM} automatically strips any +@acronym{S/MIME} headers from the input, so it is valid to pass an +entire MIME part to the INPUT pipe. + +The decryption is done by using the command + +@example + DECRYPT +@end example + +It performs the decrypt operation after doing some check on the internal +state (e.g. that all needed data has been set). Because it utilizes +the GPG-Agent for the session key decryption, there is no need to ask +the client for a protecting passphrase - GpgAgent takes care of this by +requesting this from the user. + + +@node GPGSM SIGN +@subsection Signing a Message + +Signing is usually done with these commands: + +@example + INPUT FD[=@var{n}] [--armor|--base64|--binary] +@end example + +This tells @command{GPGSM} to read the data to sign from file descriptor @var{n}. + +@example + OUTPUT FD[=@var{m}] [--armor|--base64] +@end example + +Write the output to file descriptor @var{m}. If a detached signature is +requested, only the signature is written. + +@example + SIGN [--detached] +@end example + +Sign the data set with the @code{INPUT} command and write it to the sink set by +@code{OUTPUT}. With @code{--detached}, a detached signature is created +(surprise). + +The key used for signing is the default one or the one specified in +the configuration file. To get finer control over the keys, it is +possible to use the command + +@example + SIGNER @var{userID} +@end example + +to set the signer's key. @var{userID} should be the +internal representation of the key; the server may accept any other way +of specification. If this is a valid and trusted recipient the server +does respond with OK, otherwise the return is an ERR with the reason why +the key cannot be used, the signature will then not be created using +this key. If the policy is not to sign at all if not all +keys are valid, the client has to take care of this. All +@code{SIGNER} commands are cumulative until a @code{RESET} is done. +Note that a @code{SIGN} does not reset this list of signers which is in +contrast to the @code{RECIPIENT} command. + + +@node GPGSM VERIFY +@subsection Verifying a Message + +To verify a message the command: + +@example + VERIFY +@end example + +is used. It does a verify operation on the message send to the input FD. +The result is written out using status lines. If an output FD was +given, the signed text will be written to that. If the signature is a +detached one, the server will inquire about the signed material and the +client must provide it. + +@node GPGSM GENKEY +@subsection Generating a Key + +This is used to generate a new keypair, store the secret part in the +@acronym{PSE} and the public key in the key database. We will probably +add optional commands to allow the client to select whether a hardware +token is used to store the key. Configuration options to +@command{GPGSM} can be used to restrict the use of this command. + +@example + GENKEY +@end example + +@command{GPGSM} checks whether this command is allowed and then does an +INQUIRY to get the key parameters, the client should then send the +key parameters in the native format: + +@example + S: INQUIRE KEY_PARAM native + C: D foo:fgfgfg + C: D bar + C: END +@end example + +Please note that the server may send Status info lines while reading the +data lines from the client. After this the key generation takes place +and the server eventually does send an ERR or OK response.
