Why are 3072 bit RSA systems not practical today? Except for situations where very few data can be transmitted (text messages on your phone is the only application that I can think of now, where an application CryptoSMS exists that does indeed use ECC) even my old P3 computer has absolutely no problems using 3072 bit keys (or even larger keys for that matter, wether it is usefull or not). -- Met vriendelijke groet, Johan Wevers _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
