-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I know this is offtopic, but I ask nonetheless, maybe someone has an idea. The BSI recently announced that it finds RSA/1024 bits not to be considered secure enough from the 1st of January on[1]. Now I have this really cool RSA-Smartcard (based on G10's code, fab'ed by ppc-systems) which does 1024 bits and I'm wondering if anyone knows a source who sells cards with, let's say, 2048 bits. PPC-Systems don't. - From what I heard, technically it's no problem to have card with bigger keylengths, although it might become slow - otoh they're probably more expensive. Not that I think I should abolish everything just because they say so, but it's worth a consideration anyway if you want to deploy a whole new PKI. Thanks, Alex.
