First, there (still) are ckt-Versions of PGP 5/6.x in use which allow creation of such big keys. Second, everybody is free to modify the key size limits in the existing gnupg code and compile a version for him/herself. That should not be too difficult. I'm quite conservative and think, that 4096 bits are really really enough for now and even a lot of years to come. There are far more weaknesses in the communication chain than a key size below 16384. > Sorry for my english :-) No reason to apologize :-) > (german answer preferred) This is an english-speaking mailing list :-) Ludwig _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
