Description
the enckeys property only returns the encryption keys in short id format, e.g. 0xBADCOFFE
As collisions in the short id space are nowadays very easily done the preferred key format should be long id e.g. 0xDEADBEEFBADCOFFE
Contributor guide
Research direction
Search the repository for the enckeys property and inspect how its key identifiers are formatted. Confirm the current short-ID behavior, then trace any related tests or usage before changing the result to use long IDs such as 0xDEADBEEFBADCOFFE. Done means enckeys consistently returns long-format encryption key identifiers without breaking its existing interface.
