Hi people, I'm having trouble sending encrypted PGP emails to the user of key with ID 0xd465eef3f810745c (attached). I have imported and trusted it in Ciphermail, and then tried to send test emails with no success. At first I thought it was something related with the "é" or "()" characters ("e" with a tilde), but I created a test PGP key with similar characters in it, and everything worked fine with the test key. My personal PGP key (0xaa976e29616d42d4) when imported in Ciphermail shows in exactly the same way as the problematic one (except the obviousfields: fingerprint, associated emails, dates, etc.), but test emails addressed to both keys work fine for my key but not for the other. Any ideas on what's special about this key that may prevent it from working correctly?

Hi Jorge, what happens,exactly when you send the email? What does "no success".mean? Do you (as sender) get some information? Had you have a look into the server logs?

Well, finally my user updated his key to not have the special "é" and "()" chars, I reimported it in Ciphermail and now it works fine with the updated key. So it looks that special characters in the PGP metadata are finally the culprits of this issue? Martijn, what's your opinion? Should a ticket be opened for this?

Hi Jorge, The issue was that the library I use for PGP (BC) did not take all self-signature certification types into account. There can be different types of certifications (0x10: Generic certification, 0x11: Persona certification, 0x12: Casual certification, 0x13: Positive certification). The expiration check is able to check all certification types but if one type returned an expiration value, it would not check the other certification types for longer expiration values. The key you had issues with used different self-signature certification types. I changed the code to take all certification types into account. There are some additional details, for example the faulty expiration was only taken into account for the expiration value stored in the database, so if you want more details, let me know. The following commit should fix the issue: > **[SAML single sign-on for CipherMail B.V. · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/groups/ciphermail/-/saml/sso?redirect=%2Fciphermail%2Fciphermail-core%2F-%2Fcommit%2Fc779db1a04a3bd1ebb47f764301e19cb65a09ab6&token=xZDK9D5Y)** > > GitLab.com Thanks for reporting.

Hi Martijn, thanks for the feedback. I wonder if it has something to do with the program used for managing the keys. The affected user was using Mailvelope for his key (the one that caused problems), but I was using plain CLI GPG myself for the test keys (the one that worked, even with the "é" and "()" chars). Maybe Mailvelope and GPG generate/manage keys differently, and the differences are the ones you mentioned? Anyway, thanks for the very detailed information 🙂 Have fun Jorge \*Jorge Gonzalez Villalonga\* Systems Engineer \*The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists\* \<[https://www.icij.org](https://www.icij.org)\> 1710 Rhode Island Ave NW, 11th floor | Washington DC 20036 | United States Phone: +34 672 173 200 (Madrid, Spain) [attachment.htm](https://community.ciphermail.com/uploads/short-url/yBTVQn9Ggs2yVp5ujtKXvYTL0nB.htm) (2.46 KB) > **···** > > El 28/6/21 a las 13:33, Martijn Brinkers escribió: > > > Hi Jorge, > > > > The issue was that the library I use for PGP (BC) did not take all > > self-signature certification types into account.
