That's why I said "but realistically it'll be (at least) a few years before it gets mainstream adoption." ;-) Even if the draft standard got approved today, and both gpg and pgp corp had working production implementations, it'll be years before it gets to the point where you can assume random users will be able to support ECC. But if you just wanted to use it with your inner circle, be it an eco-terrorist cell or a fantasy football league, you actually could start using it today. -- -Grant "Look around!
