KeyIdShortString returns the short form of public key's fingerprint in capital hex, as shown by gpg --list-keys (e.g. "621CC013").

func (pk *PublicKey) KeyIdShortString() string {
	return fmt.Sprintf("%X", pk.Fingerprint[16:20])
}

A parsedMPI is used to store the contents of a big integer, along with the bit length that was specified in the original input. This allows the MPI to be reserialized exactly.

type parsedMPI struct {
	bytes     []byte
	bitLength uint16
}

writeMPIs is a utility function for serializing several big integers to the given Writer.

func writeMPIs(w io.Writer, mpis ...parsedMPI) (err error) {
	for _, mpi := range mpis {
		err = writeMPI(w, mpi.bitLength, mpi.bytes)
		if err != nil {
			return
		}
	}
	return
}

BitLength returns the bit length for the given public key.

func (pk *PublicKey) BitLength() (bitLength uint16, err error) {
	switch pk.PubKeyAlgo {
	case PubKeyAlgoRSA, PubKeyAlgoRSAEncryptOnly, PubKeyAlgoRSASignOnly:
		bitLength = pk.n.bitLength
	case PubKeyAlgoDSA:
		bitLength = pk.p.bitLength
	case PubKeyAlgoElGamal:
		bitLength = pk.p.bitLength
	default:
		err = errors.InvalidArgumentError("bad public-key algorithm")
	}
	return
