Reassigned *** Issue 54366 has been confirmed by votes. *** . *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 4401 *** Why is this being marked as a dupe? This issue is explicitly about signing documents. Issue 4401 is explicitly about encrypting documents (via the Save As dialogue). Not at all the same thing. It is correct this issue should not be combined with encryption. In ODF and Apache OpenOffice, encryption is password-based and there is no provision for Public Key Cryptography to be used at all. For signing, there is provision for PKC, as in the current support for X.509. So this will be a separate issue for an indefinite time. In this case, accommodation of PGP signing will depend on two provisions: Including OpenPGP information in the XML Digital Signature used in the ODF Format and relying on the PGP libraries that are already installed on an user's computer so that the signatures can be produced and so they can be verified. |
