Hi! ~~~ To be compatible with GnuPG this library is missing encryption (zlib is default). I was hoping that this is implemented before we even have key generation ;)
The standard currently defines the following compression algorithms: ID Algorithm Req. -- --------- ---- 0 - Uncompressed MUST 1 - ZIP [RFC1951 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1951>] SHOULD 2 - ZLIB [RFC1950 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1950>] MAY 3 - BZip2 [BZ2 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#ref-BZ2>] MAY 100 to 110 - Private/Experimental algorithm 0 - We have that. The packet implementation and routines are there. Writing compressed packets is currently not implemented but openpgp.config.config.compression for selectin the algorithm is already there. 1 (ZIP) - Since 1999 a javascript implementation of ZIP is available from Masanao Izumo <[email protected]> (see https://github.com/dankogai/js-deflate) 2 (ZLIB) - The JSXGraph project provides with JSXCompressor a JS library for Zlib decompression http://jsxgraph.uni-bayreuth.de/wp/jsxcompressor/. I have not found any implementation in JS also implementing a compress function but http://www.jcraft.com/jzlib/ provides a Java Library implementing zlib. We could port this to javascript or use Google Web Toolkit to compile this to JavaScript 3 (BZIP2) - There are currently two projects implementing bzip2 decompression on github: https://github.com/antimatter15/bzip2.js and https://github.com/kirilloid/bzip2-js. Just from a quick review i would prefer the first one (without having tested it yet). There is already a stub for each algorithm in packet/openpgp.packet.compressed.js. I would put the implementations to src/compression/<zip|zlib|bzip2>/<files>. Lets bring the core library forward, its the last key feature missing! best regards, carsten _______________________________________________ http://openpgpjs.org
