Actually the primary keys are the most worry some. I have a one 8k key in my keyring and checking the key signatures made but that key takes a noticeable time. Imagine everyone would use such keys and also consider that nowadays more and more low-processing power devices are used. Such keys are at best a political statement and a good laugh for some NSA folks. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
