This is allowed by the spec to hide the length of the session key:
For example, assuming that an AES algorithm is
used for the session key, the sender MAY use 21, 13, and 5 bytes of
padding for AES-128, AES-192, and AES-256, respectively, to provide
the same number of octets, 40 total, as an input to the key wrapping
method.
Also, when generating RSA keys in JS, generate them with p < q, as per
the spec.
Also, when generating RSA keys using Web Crypto or Node crypto, swap the
generated p and q around, so that will satisfy p < q in most browsers
(but not old Microsoft Edge, 50% of the time) and so that we can use the
generated u coefficient (p^-1 mod q in OpenPGP, q^-1 mod p in RFC3447).
Then, when signing and verifying, swap p and q again, so that the key
hopefully satisfies Safari's requirement that p > q, and so that we can
keep using u again.
This was broken in #922 (merged as part of #956).
This would cause GPG to be unable to parse unencrypted secret keys,
thinking they were encrypted.
rfc4880bis-08 hints at this requirement, saying:
o MPI of an integer representing the secret key, which is a scalar
of the public EC point.
Since scalar multiplication happens after masking the private key,
this implies that we should serialize the private key after masking,
as well.
This PR adds four config options to configure whether and how to load
indutny/elliptic: use_indutny_elliptic, external_indutny_elliptic,
indutny_elliptic_path and indutny_elliptic_fetch_options.
Also:
- Use tweetnacl.js instead of indutny/elliptic for curve25519 key generation
- Don't initialize indutny's curve25519, improving performance when using that curve
- Verify NIST signatures using Web Crypto instead of indutny/elliptic when not streaming
- Move KeyPair.sign/verify to ecdsa.js
- Move KeyPair.derive to ecdh.js
- Move keyFromPrivate and keyFromPublic to a new indutnyKey.js file
