Thanks for clarifying, you are (of course) right. Didn't think for a second before posting :-( However, I wanted to demonstrate the relationship between the length/keyspace of a password and the cryptography actually used. Or the other way 'round: why use (waste?) a lot of bits on cryptography when it's much "easier" to bruteforce the password itself? _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
