/** RFC4880 alike public key export with some modifications.
RFC4880 alike public key export with the following modifications:
- Key material is native to us and not specified in the
rfc for curve25519/ed25519. Therefore we're doing it like
so: mp|sp|cp
where mp = master keysigning public key (ed25519), 32 bytes
sp = signing public key (ed25519), 32 bytes
cp = encryption public key (curve25519), 32 bytes
- The various cipher (algorithm) id's are unspecified for
our native ciphers. Therefore I created them, starting at
33 (afaik 22 is the last officially assigned one). Once
those cipher numbers become official, I'll use them instead
of my own.
- We use 64 bit integers for times everywhere (ctime, expire, etc),
to be year 2038 safe. Note, that this is a violation of the
RFC spec. However, said RFC have to be modified to fit 2038
anc beyond anyways. This applies for the keyfile ctime as
well for the key sig sub fields containing time values.
- The exported public key packet contains a signature. We're
filling out all required fields. A signature has a variable
number of sig sub packets. We use only these types:
2 = Signature Creation Time (8 byte)
3 = Signature Expiration Time (8 byte)
9 = Key Expiration Time (8 bytes)
20 = Notation Data (4 byte flags, N bytes name+value)
27 = Key Flags (1 byte, use 0x02, 0x08 and 0x80
- We use 3 notation fields:
* "owner", which contains the owner name, if set
* "mail", which contains the emailaddress, if set
* "serial", which contains the 32bit serial number
- The actual signature field consists of the blake2 hash of
(mp|sp|cp|keysig) followed by the nacl signature. However, we do
not put an extra 16byte value of the hash, since the nacl
signature already contains the full hash. So, an implementation
could simply pull the fist 16 bytes of said hash to get
the same result.
- The mp keypair will be used for signing. The recipient can
verify the signature, since mp is included.
- While we put expiration dates for the key and the signature
into the export as the rfc demands, we ignore them. Key expiring
is not implemented in PCP yet.
So, a full pubkey export looks like this
version
ctime
cipher
3 x raw keys \
sigheader > calc hash from this
sigsubs (header+data) /
hash
signature
We use big-endian always.
Unlike RC4880 public key exports, we're using Z85 encoding if
armoring have been requested by the user. Armored output has
a header and a footer line, however they are ignored by the
parser and are therefore optional. Newlines, if present, are
optional as well.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#section-5.2.3
The key sig blob will be saved in the Vault if we import a public key
unaltered, so we can verify the signature at will anytime. When exporting
a foreign public key, we will just put out that key sig blob to the
export untouched.
Currently PCP only support self-signed public key exports.
We only support one key signature per key. However, it would be easily
possible to support foreign keysigs as well in the future.

/** Export secret key.
Export a secret key.
Export a secret key. (refer to the INTERNALS section of the pcp(1) manual page for details).
Secret key are exported in proprietary format.
The exported binary blob is symmetrically encrypted using the NACL
function crypto_secret(). The passphrase will be used to derive an
encryption key using the STAR function scrypt().
The binary data before encryption consists of:
- ED25519 master signing secret
- Curve25519 encryption secret
- ED25519 signing secret
- ED25519 master signing public
- Curve25519 encryption public
- ED25519 signing public
- Optional notations, currently supported are the 'owner' and 'mail' attributes.
If an attribute is empty, the len field contains zero.
-# len(VAL) (2 byte uint)
-# VAL (string without trailing zero)
- 8 byte creation time (epoch)
- 4 byte key version
- 4 byte serial number
The encrypted cipher will be prepended with the random nonce used
to encrypt the data and looks after encryption as such:
