[PATCH 09/14] KEYS: Retry asym key search with partial ID in restrict_link_by_signature()

From: Roberto Sassu
Date: Tue Jan 11 2022 - 13:04:50 EST


Retry asymmetric key search in restrict_link_by_signature() to support the
case of partial IDs, provided by PGP signatures (only the last 8 bytes).

Although recently draft-ietf-openpgp-rfc4880bis-10 supports the signature
subpacket type 33, which contains the full issuer fingerprint, we cannot
rely on existing signatures to support it.
