-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hi Burcu,
you tried to derive the key "strength" from the number of lines of the (ASCII armored) public key. It does not work like that. The secret of a 2048 bit key is 2048 bit, that would be approx. [1] 5.5 "lines" you counted. However, the public key also contains user identities (aka Email addresses), signatures and other information described in detail in [2]. You may examine your PUBLIC key packets by pasting them into a pgpdump [3] converter [4].
