Substitute "safety margin" for rigor and I'll agree with you. IDEA is a competent design by credible people and has had a whole lot of people beating on it to only limited degrees of success: it seems to me they've met the requirements for rigor. > So, if you ask me, I don't see the need to support even the capability > of a module with GnuPG. I am generally in favor of modular design on general principle: it makes it easier to write custom additions to GnuPG should the need arise. Whether an IDEA module should exist or not ... eh. I've always thought that if people really needed RFC1991 compatibility, they know where to find PGP 2.6. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
