| Summary | 0001378: Unable to sign gpg key for an IDN. | ||||
| Description | Register an IDN email via punycode will work. But then sign an gpg key will fail. Because after copy the public part, of it I only get the error, format of the key is wrong. After talk with the gpg developer, they say, that is correct that the gpg key contain the utf8 version. And the application have to deal with it. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. create an gpg2 keypair for an IDN domain. For example foo@müller.de. 2. export the public key 3. try to import it. | ||||
| Additional Information | Bug report about the IDN support under gpg2: https://bugs.g10code.com/gnupg/issue1941 | ||||

Unfortunately the GnuPG code is fragile enough as it stands and there are currently no plns to add any new features until a proper rewrite has been completed. For details see https://blog.cacert.org/2015/02/new-software-rewriting-the-software-driving-our-site/ and its follow-ups. Also note that the GnuPG people still need deciding on behaviour of client applications. Until then a work-around might be using the raw IDN version of the domain xn--mller-... in your key UID. |
