Hi Sean,
Thanks for answering.
There would be a way to map a private key to a public key using the keys
IDs if *openpgp.generateKeyPair(...)* returned {*privateKey:
[openpgp_msg_privatekey],*
*privateKeyArmored: [string],*
*publicKey: [openpgp_msg_privatekey],
*
*publicKeyArmored: [string]}*
*
*
Thus, when I generate my key pair, I can store a couple of key IDs, and I
know which public key goes with which private key.
var myKeyPair = generate_key_pair(1, 2048, userId);
var myObj = {
privKeyId: myKeyPair.privateKey.getKeyId(),
pubKeyId: myKeyPair.publicKey.getKeyId(),
...
}
chrome.storageArea.set(myObj,function(){...});
Unfortunately, at the moment *openpgp.generateKeyPair(...)* returns only
{*privateKey: [openpgp_msg_privatekey],*
*privateKeyArmored: [string],*
*publicKeyArmored: [string]}*
Would it be possible ? Or is there a good reason for generateKeyPair not
returning the public key ?
