Re: IntegrityProtection when using OpenPGP ECDH keys

Can't say we have ever seen that. It would be a bug, but have you got
some code that shows the problem? It appears to be working here, and the
two things are actually quite unrelated - whether or not integrity
protection is present has nothing to do with the public key algorithm used.

If there is something we have missed we would be happy to fix it.
