I am not against the use of abbreviated words, but I will need clarification from time to time, as I said, it was a problem of lack of vocabulary ;-) Well, I wrote what I intend to use as default preferences, but before modifying anything I wanted to ask opinions... For encryption: AES256 AES192 TWOFISH AES CAST5 3DES (didn't include Blowfish because I was told it is not supported by PGP, and also its author says people should move to Twofish). I am not sure if Twofish uses 256 bits keys, or shorter (according to wikipedia, it can use different lengths of keys). For hashing: SHA256 SHA512 SHA1 RIPEMD160 (I prefer to don't use SHA1 since it is not as safe as it was supposed to be, and since my key doesn't expire, the idea is not having to alter it in shot or medium time. SHA512 seems a bit oversized... but I suppose the sender will decide what to use. I am not sure if to add the other SHA hashing algo's since something with a length that is not 2^n looks a bit unusual to me...). And for compression: ZLIB BZIP2 ZIP Uncompressed What is better, to use S1 S2 S2 codes, or the names? I figure using the codes would save a bit of space, and since I don't have to keep those codes in my memory, it is not a problem for me to enter them that way.
