Minor correction: PGP first started using Twofish-256 for marketing reasons. The AES competition was in full swing and PGP Security believed Twofish was going to be the winner, so Twofish-256 was introduced for marketing reasons. This was in PGP 7.0, if memory serves. Once Rijndael was selected, it was introduced in PGP 7.1. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
