I generated my key back in 2004, and I've been a very vocal and active supporter of GnuPG, encrypting communications, and digitally signing mail. However, I was in a discussion with a friend, and the topic came up that it is theoretically possible to rebuild your private key if someone had access to all your signed mail. We debated the size of signatures and mail that would need to be collected for this to be probable.
Is it? What is the likelihood that an attacker could rebuild a private key from a collections of signed mail, and would it depend on the hash used in the algorithm? -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o
