Test Algorithm-Perspective

TODO: while testing the first ones, develop a scheme for evaluation like in #287. Try to find a good trade-off to the effect of maximum efficiency (we only want to see if there are any systemic problems).

These UI paths were deemed representative and should be tested. Post results as comments in this issue for now to be sorted out later.

An idea of how a test check list could look like can be seen in #287

[CharlotteMagister]

Will start testing the first three items, after a plan for testing is established.

[grthor]

@CharlotteMagister and I have just developed a checklist according to which the algorithm plug-ins are tested.

The checklist contains the following 4 points:

• test if all plugins are completely translated.
• see if all GUI elements have a function.
• check the context help for gross errors (spelling mistakes, strange phrases)
• test whether input fields can cope with incorrect entries (e.g. enter letters in input fields for numbers)

Due to the small size of the algorithm GUIs (maximum one dialog box with 2 pages) the checklist is much smaller than for the normal plugins (#287).

We decided against testing the validity of the results of the algorithms, because the algorithms are provided by the crypto-provider Bouncycastle and we trust that they are correct.

Some Algorithms do not open at all:

• Message Authentication Codes / CBCMac / CBCMacMisty1 fixed with jcryptool/core@d1bae29
• Message Authentication Codes / CBCMac / SAFER fixed with jcryptool/core@d1bae29
• Message Authentication Codes / CBCMac / SAFER++ fixed with jcryptool/core@d1bae29
• All entries in Message Authentication Codes / HMac
• All entries in Authentication Codes / TwoTrackMac

List to be continued

I tested Asymmetric Block Ciphers \ RSA. I did not find any issues with it, but when clicking between the Asymmetric Block Ciphers and the Operations View the change in the text displayed in the Help box appears inconsistent. Sometimes the text vanishes and sometimes it appears again.

[Eduard951]

I tested Message Authentication Codes \ HMac \ CBCmacSerpent. I did find some issues. When the user wants to specify a parameter and just adds " " (Spacebar) the field "finish" is green and the user can finish the configuration. The field expects a hexadecimal input, but when the user types for example the letter "G" two times in a row the Finish-Button can be clicked.
I dont´t think this works as intended.

[Eduard951]

I tested:

Pseudo Random Number Generators \ SHA1PRNG
Message Digests \ SHA384

Both working as intended.

[Eduard951]

Tested Password-Based Ciphers \ PbeWithSHAAnd3_KeyTripleDES_CBC:

Nothing happens when you try to click run button.
log(TripleKey_error_20_10_2020).txt

Also tested Signatures \ MeRSA:

You cant decrypt message, the key dissapears.
log(Mersa_20_10_2020).txt

Working:
Signatures \ IQGQSignature \ IQGQ
Signatures \ DSASignature \ RAW/DSA
Signatures \ RSASignaturePKCS1v15 \ RIPEMD160/RSA
