Hello all! What would be the security effect of generating a 32 byte key from a passphrase using scrypt and then using that as a "passphrase" for openpgp's symmetric encryption (this 32 byte key will of course then be acted upon by openpgp's s2k algorithm). Specifically, can one expect that this will make brute-forcing a symmetric passphrase (theoretically or practically) harder? (Given the same strong passhrase).
Please note that I am asking this from an application point of view and not calling for the inclusion of scrypt into the openpgp standard. Thanks! Brian Gitonga Marete,
