[tor-bugs] #5096 [Orbot]: Support transferring bridge addresses in QR codes
#5096: Support transferring bridge addresses in QR codes

Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Orbot | Version:

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
At some point (maybe in days, maybe in weeks), we will start distributing
bridge addresses which contain multiple 80-bit-or-longer base32-encoded
âcryptovariablesâ (I don't know any other appropriate general term for
them). Orbot users will want to not retype them into their puny phone
keyboards.
See the â`libzbar`â package for a QR-code decoder under the LGPL. See
â`libqrencode`â for a QR-code encoder under the LGPL. Neither of these
can currently handle binary strings containing NULs (you don't want to be
parsing/repacking bridge lines anyway, but you need to know about that bug
before you use the QR-code hammer to pound e.g. OTR/GPG fingerprints,
BitTorrent info hashes, or Curve25519/Ed25519 public keys).
Also, if you interact with a QR-code decoder through e.g. XML, don't get
