To enable stored messages to be protected using symmetric key encryption and validated
using message authentication codes, this set of changes adds support for storing
symmetric key material as Secret Key Packets, symmetric key encrypted session keys as
Public Key Encrypted Session Key Packets, and MAC tags as Signature Packets.

In `openpgp.sign`, the signing key preferences are considered instead,
since no "recipient keys" are available.
The hash algo selection logic has been reworked as follows:
if `config.preferredHashAlgo` appears in the prefs of all recipients, we pick it;
otherwise, we use the strongest supported algo (note: SHA256 is always implicitly supported by all keys),
as long as it is compatible with the signing key (e.g. ECC keys require minimum digest sizes).
Previously, only the preferences of the signing key were used to determine the hash algo to use,
but this is in contrast to the RFC: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9580.html#section-5.2.3.16-2 .
Also, an algo stronger than `config.preferredHashAlgo` would be used, if the signing key
declared it as first preference.
With this change, `config.preferredHashAlgo` is picked even if it's weaker than the
preferences of the recipient keys.
To avoid returning dummy key packets, and improving error reporting.
This new behavior is also better aligned with that of `Key.getSigningKey()`.
This is a breaking change for apps that call `getDecryptionKeys()` directly.
The related error messages returned by `openpgp.decrypt` have also changed,
becoming more specific.
This change is also made in preparation of supporting private keys with
public key packets.
We need to include the checksum to work around a GnuPG bug where data fails to
be decoded if the base64 ends with no padding chars (=) (see https://dev.gnupg.org/T7071).
Pure v6 artifacts are unaffected and won't include the checksum, as mandated by
the spec.
Breaking change:
`openpgp.armor` takes an additional `emitChecksum` argument (defaults to
false).
NB: some types of data must not include the checksum, but compliance is left as
responsibility of the caller: this function does not carry out any checks.
Refer to the crypto-refresh RFC for more details.

Key flags, expiration time, algorithm preferences, et cetera, are now
read from the direct-key signature instead of the primary User ID
binding signature for v6 keys.
This also requires a direct-key signature to be present for v6 keys.
Breaking change:
when generating new subkeys through `key.addSubkey()`, we now check
`config.rejectCurves` and prevent adding subkeys using the corresponding
curves.
By default, `config.rejectCurves` includes the brainpool curves
(`brainpoolP256r1`, `brainpoolP384r1`, `brainpoolP512r1`) and the Bitcoin curve
(`secp256k1`).
This is a follow up to #1395 , which introduced the same check to
`openpgp.generateKey`.
API changes:
- `Key.isPublic()` has been removed, since it was redundant and it would
introduce TypeScript issues. Call `!Key.isPrivate()` instead.
TypeScript changes:
- the `openpgp.readKey(s)` functions are now declared as returning a `Key`
instead of a `PublicKey`. This is just a readability improvement to make it
clearer that the result could also be a `PrivateKey`.
- All `Key` methods that return a key object now have the narrowest possible
return type.
- The `Key.isPrivate()` method can now be used for type inference, allowing the
compiler to distinguish between `PrivateKey` and `PublicKey`.
Calling `key.isPrivate()` is the recommended way of distinguishing between a
`PrivateKey` and `PublicKey` at runtime, over using `key instanceof ...`, since
the latter depends on the specifics of the `Key` class hierarchy.
- Throw on signature parsing (e.g. in `openpgp.readSignature`) if the
creation time subpacket is missing
- `SignaturePacket.verify` now directly checks for signature creation
and expiration times. This makes it easier to thoroughly check the
validity of signatures. Also:
- `openpgp.revokeKey` now takes a `date` to check the provided
revocation certificate
- `openpgp.decryptSessionKeys` now takes a `date` to check the
validity of the provided private keys
- whenever a `date` is used internally, the function accepts a
`date` param to allow passing the correct date
- Add tests for all of the above
- Like `openpgp.generateKey`, `openpgp.reformatKey` now also requires
`options.userIDs`
- Simplify calling `SubKey.isRevoked/update/getExpirationTime` by
adding the `SubKey.mainKey` field to hold the reference of the
corresponding `Key`
Breaking changes in low-level functions:
- Added/removed `date` params:
- `Key.update(key, config)` -> `update(key, date, config)`
- `Key.applyRevocationCertificate(revocationCertificate, config)` ->
`applyRevocationCertificate(revocationCertificate, date, config)`
- `Key.signAllUsers(privateKeys, config)` ->
`signAllUsers(privateKeys, date, config)`
- `Key.verifyAllUsers(keys, config)` ->
`verifyAllUsers(keys, date, config)`
- `new SignaturePacket(date)` -> `new SignaturePacket()`
- `SignaturePacket.sign(key, data, detached)` ->
`sign(key, data, date, detached)`
- `Message.sign(primaryKey, privateKeys, config)` ->
`sign(primaryKey, privateKeys, date, config)`
- `Message.decrypt(privateKeys, passwords, sessionKeys, config)` ->
`decrypt(privateKeys, passwords, sessionKeys, date, config)`
- `Message.decryptSessionKeys(privateKeys, passwords, config)` ->
`decryptSessionKeys(privateKeys, passwords, date, config)`
- Removed `primaryKey` params:
- `SubKey.isRevoked(primaryKey, signature, key, date, config)` ->
`isRevoked(signature, key, date, config)`
- `SubKey.update(subKey, primaryKey, date, config)` ->
`update(subKey, date, config)`
- `SubKey.getExpirationTime(primaryKey, date, config)` ->
`getExpirationTime(date, config)`
- Add `PrivateKey` and `PublicKey` classes. A `PrivateKey` can always
be passed where a `PublicKey` key is expected, but not vice versa.
- Unexport `Key`, and export `PrivateKey` and `PublicKey`.
- Rename `Key.packetlist2structure` to `Key.packetListToStructure`.
- Change `Key.update` to return a new updated key, rather than
modifying the destination one in place.
- Add `openpgp.readPrivateKey` and `openpgp.readPrivateKeys` to avoid
having to downcast the result of `readKey(s)` in TypeScript.
