* Contact some usability types to ask about usability and changing up the
block sizes.
OpenPGP does not specify a user interface but the wire format.
Obviously we use the most compact format there which is the plain binary
format. The questions are
- Do we need to explicity indicate the fingerprinting scheme (SHA-1 or
SHA-256, or whatever) in the binary represenation.
- Do we need truncation and how do we indicate a fingerprint scheme
then given that it can't be deduced from the length.
- Should we bind a certain fingerprint scheme to a public key packet
versions as we did in the past (v3 = MD5, v4 = SHA1, maybe v5 =
SHA256 with keyid being the leftmost octets). Or is it okay to
allow for multipe fingerprint schemes for the same key.
Salam-Shalom,
