Basic information

  • TDE version: R14.1
  • Distribution: Debian Buster

Description

When opening the editor from kgpg and pressing the "Encrypt" button, press advanced option and check "hide id". It has no effect, but expected is that the column with the key identifier is suppressed.

Steps to reproduce

  1. open editor from kgpg and type some text
  2. press Encrypt
  3. popup (Select public key window) shows identities
  4. select Advanced and check "hide id"
  5. the key identifier is not being suppressed

Sorry it seems I have misinterpreted this checkbox.

I now had a look at the code and it has a totally different meaning:

"Do not put the keyid into encrypted packets. This option hides the receiver of the message and is a countermeasure against traffic analysis. It may slow down the decryption process because all available secret keys are tried."
