Format of exported subkeys from gnupg
|
|
Hello,
I'm with the Guardian Project, picking up where Hans left off last year
[0] in an attempt to integrate OTR keys as subkeys in gnupg.
Guardian is working on a OTR key conversion utility [1] to convert
between the myriad formats of OTR keys (all DSA btw).
In order to do this I need access to the raw DSA parameters: p, q, g, y
and x.
My question is how can I take the output produced by
--export-secret-keys and access those 5 numbers?
Inversely, how can I take 5 numbers and produce an importable file to
import OTR subkeys into a master key?
I've been poking around in g10/export.c in gnupg2, and see that it is
using s-expressions internally. It looks like I might need to roll my
owner parser and writer, is there any documentation on this format?
Alternatively, if I could mangle the exported data into an openssl
format, I could use existing openssl tools to pull out the data I need.
gpgsm exports p12, but I can't see how to make it work with gpg subkeys.
Any advice in this area would be much appreciated.
