# Introduction
The [Sequoia-PGP][] project is an implementation of the [OpenPGP][]
standard for encryption and digital signatures. Sequoia itself is a
library for the Rust programming language, as well as the `sq` command
line tool for people to use directly. This document captures the
requirements and acceptance criteria for the `sq` tool and how they
are verified, and at the same time acts as an integration test for the
tool.

## Testing approach for sq
This document explicitly only covers integration and acceptance
testing of the `sq` command line tool. It does not try to verify that
the underlying library implements OpenPGP correctly: the library has
its own test suite for that. Instead, this document concentrates on
making sure the `sq` command line tool behaves as it should from an
end-user's point of view.
We make the following simplifying assumption: we know the `sq`
developers as competent developers, and assume that they don't
entangle unrelated functionality. By this we mean that we feel we can
assume that the code in `sq` that reads input files is separate from the
code that compresses it, which in turn is independent of the code that
writes output as text or binary data. Thus, we verify each such
functionality independently of each other. This drastically cuts down
the number of feature combinations we need to test. If this assumption
turns out to be incorrect, we will rethink and revise the testing
approach as needed.
We also know, by inspection, that `sq` uses the well-known,
well-respected Rust library `clap` for parsing the command line.
Because of this we feel it's not necessary to verify that, for
example, `sq` notices that a required argument is missing from the
command line, or that it notices that there are extra arguments
present. We will concentrate on testing that when invoked with valid
arguments results in expected output.
## Using Subplot and this document
The acceptance criteria and requirements are explained in prose and
when they can be verified in an automated way, that is done using
_test scenarios_. Both the prose and the scenarios are meant to be
understood and agreed to by all stakeholders in the project.
The [Subplot][] tool is used to render this document into
human-readable form (HTML or PDF), and to generate a test program that
executes the scenarios and checks they all pass.
To achieve this, run the following commands:
~~~sh
2024-01-08 19:56:47 +03:00
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia-sq.git
$ cd sequoia-sq
2023-02-21 14:43:43 +03:00
$ subplot docgen sq-subplot.md -o sq-subplot.html
$ subplot docgen sq-subplot.md -o sq-subplot.pdf
$ cargo test
~~~
If you only care about generating and running tests, you only need to
run `cargo test` . All the dependencies for that are automatically
handled via `Cargo.toml` .
To generate typeset documents (HTML and PDF), you need the following
software installed:
* [Subplot][], via cargo install or a Debian package (see its website)
* Pandoc
* Parts of TeX Live (for PDF)
* Graphviz
On a Debian system, that means the following packages:
> `subplot pandoc pandoc-citeproc lmodern librsvg2-bin graphviz
> texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-recommended
> texlive-fonts-recommended plantuml`

# Smoke test
_Requirement: We must be able to invoke `sq` at all._
This scenario verifies that we can run `sq` in the simplest possible
case: we ask the program for its version. If this works, then we know
that the executable program exists, can be invoked, and at least some
of its command line parsing code works. If this scenario doesn't work,
then we can't expect anything else to work either.
~~~scenario
given an installed sq
2024-01-19 14:55:13 +03:00
when I run sq version
2023-02-21 14:43:43 +03:00
then exit code is 0
2024-01-19 14:55:13 +03:00
then stderr matches regex ^sq \d+\.\d+\.\d+

# Key management: `sq key`
This chapter covers all key management functionality: the `sq key`
subcommands.
## Key generation: `sq key generate`
This section covers key generation with `sq` . Keys are somewhat
complicated: it is possible to have keys for specify that they can
only used for specific operations, or the time period when they are
valid. Different cryptographic algorithms have different kinds of
keys. We verify these by varying what kind keys we generate and that
they look as expected, when inspected.
### Generate a key with defaults
_Requirement: We must be able to generate new encryption keys and
corresponding certificates._
This scenario generates a new key with `sq` using default settings and
inspects it to see if it looks at least vaguely correct. Note that in
this scenario we don't verify that the key works, other scenarios take
care of that. Here we merely verify that the new key looks OK.
~~~scenario

2023-02-21 14:43:43 +03:00
then stdout contains "Alice"
then stdout contains "Expiration time: 20"
then stdout contains "Key flags: certification"
then stdout contains "Key flags: signing"
then stdout contains "Key flags: authentication"
then stdout contains "Key flags: transport encryption, data-at-rest encryption"
~~~

~~~
### Generate a key with revocation certificate
_Requirement: We must be able to specify where the revocation
certificate is store._
When `sq` generates a key, it also generates a revocation certificate.
By default, this is written to a file next to the key file. However,
we need to able to specify where it goes. This scenario tests various
cases.
~~~scenario

then file rev.pgp contains "Comment: Revocation certificate for"
~~~
### Generate a key with default duration
_Requirement: By default, generated key expire._
We generate a key with defaults, and check the key expires.
~~~scenario

when I run sq inspect key.pgp
2023-02-21 14:43:43 +03:00
then stdout contains "Expiration time: 20"
~~~
The check for expiration time assumes the scenario is run the 21st
century, and will need to be amended in the 2090s or by time
travellers running it before about the year 2000.
### Generate a key that expires at a given moment
_Requirement: We must be able to generate a key that expires._
Note that the timestamp given to `--expire` is the first second when
the key is no longer valid, not the last second it's valid. The
inspect output is the last second of validity.

# Encryption and decryption: `sq encrypt` and `sq decrypt`
This chapter has scenarios for verifying that encryption and
decryption work. The overall approach is to do round trips: we
encrypt, then decrypt, and is the result is identical to the input,
all good.
## Encrypt to stdout as ASCII armored
_Requirement: We must be able to encrypt a file using a certificate,
with output going to stdout.
We also verify that the encrypted output doesn't contain the message
in cleartext, just in case.
~~~scenario

when I run sq encrypt --for-file cert.pgp hello.txt
2023-02-21 14:43:43 +03:00
then stdout contains "-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----"
then stdout doesn't contain "hello, world"
~~~
## Encrypt to stdout as binary
_Requirement: We must be able to encrypt a file using a certificate,
with output going to stdout.
We also verify that the encrypted output doesn't contain the message
in cleartext, just in case.

2023-02-21 14:43:43 +03:00
then stdout doesn't contain "-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----"
then stdout doesn't contain "hello, world"
~~~
## Encrypt and decrypt using asymmetric encryption
_Requirement: We must be able to encrypt a file using a certificate,
and then decrypt it using the corresponding key._
This scenario creates a plain text file, generates a key, encrypts and
then decrypts the file. The resulting output must be identical to the
original plain text input file. This is a very simplistic scenario and
does not even try to test harder cases (binary files, very large
files, etc).

# Sign a document and verify the signature: `sq sign` and `sq verify`
This chapter verifies that digital signatures work in `sq` . Like with
encryption, the verification is based on round trips: we create a
signature, and that it matches the signed data. We break this into a
number simple cases.

## File is signed with all required keys
_Requirement: We can verify that a file is signed by all required
keys._
We verify this by signing a file twice, and verifying there are two
signatures. We also verify that if there is only one signature, it's
not enough, when we need two.

## Signed file cannot be verified if it has been modified
_Requirement: We can sign a file and verifying the signature fails if
the signed file has been modified._
We modify the signed file by removing the third line of it. The file
starts with a line containing "-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----" and then
an empty line, and the third line is actual data. If we delete that,
the file by definition can't be valid anymore.
