When browsing: http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html#INTRO It says: "The size of a DSA key must be between 512 and 1024 bits". It also says: "The ElGamal key may be of any size". Who and why has defined this? In my opinion, the size of a key is a question for the user. --=20 /Peo ---------------------------------------------- - PGP signed/encrypted emails is prefered -=20 ---------------------------------------------- --=-DqzmkcvWk4omX+QGXDlv Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHPHXFgWSfflYlIbwRAqRhAJ9eWqdY3S7JmlC2FteRQAQaNLuwsQCg3XlG vlo42jlBOmB9jNujE7LWymY= =O+nH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-DqzmkcvWk4omX+QGXDlv--
