In that case, I assume 3072bit is sufficient. Making the public/secret key a little stronger than the session keys (128 bit for most symmetric ciphers) makes sense (breaking the secret key lets an attacker read all messages, breaking a session key only one so the pubkey is more valuable) but making it extremely much stronger is useless. Attackers will go for the weakest link in the chain. -- Met vriendelijke groet / With kind regards, Johan Wevers PGP/GPG public keys at http://www.xs4all.nl/~johanw/pgpkeys.html _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
