: Hello !
:
: I get the following error when I "getkey" some silc (Silky) users :
:
: [Error]: Error encoding SILC public key identifier
: *** Could not verify user XXXXX public key
:
: This error only appear with Silky users...
:
The problem is most likely that the public key you receive is malformed.
I'm not sure how Silky creates public keys but it's possible that they are
malformed as the checks for creating absolutely correct keys was missing
from earlier versions of SILC Toolkit. There's not really anything you
can do, but to tell the user to regenerate their public key.
