Is that an example of a potential problem implementation? Note that the McAfee product does support RSA (not surprising, given its ancestry).
I don't know.
There are a wide number of implementations with various degrees of conformance, RFC4880 is fairly new and there's no guarantee vendors have caught up with it, old systems continue to be used despite our wishes (look at how many 6.5.8 users are out there), and so forth and so forth.
My judgment is that it's wise to keep some healthy skepticism about what optional bits of the spec are broadly-supported. I think the instant I tell someone "everything uses RSA," they're going to come back and say "well, my bank uses FooBarBazQuuzPGP, and they can't read my traffic," Murphy's Law being what it is and all.
Reasonable people may certainly disagree with my judgment. :) _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
