Description Stef Walter 2011-04-06 11:48:23 UTC 
Fingerprints for keys are inconsistent between programs and where they're displayed. For example the following all generate different fingerprints for the same RSA or DSA key:

 * openssh
 * libgcrypt
 * gnupg

After much research we can settle on the semi-standard way of getting a fingerprint: hashing subjectPublicKeyInfo DER.

Will implement this, and complete the missing bits of the key widget.
