I presume here you are referring to the "printed" fingerprint, and not
the "internal" fingerprint? Internally we'd still use the full length,
right? Or would we need to somehow know when (and how) to truncate the
Sure, just for the printed one. Internally we should alway use the full
fingerprint with algorithm id. If we want to have the smallest possible
signature it is possible to not emit the new IssuerFingerprint signature
subpacket.
Similarly, I think we should be clear that we're talking about two
different things here. Internally (e.g. in a signature packet) it
should be the binary result, not hex- or base-32 encoded.
Sure. Although this is not part of the wire format it is important to
have a standard on how a fingerprint is presented to the user.
