I know some encryption schemes reveal more information about the keys used when an attacker has both the plaintext and the ciphertext. In general, how much information does GPG reveal in such situations?
Virtually none.
How much plaintext/ciphertext matched data would an attacker need (An order of magnitude is fine) before being able to reverse enough of the key to be meaningful on fairly modern computers?
Enough to make it far, *far* more cost-effective to resort to other methods to recover your key. Just buying the hard drives alone would exhaust the budgets of large corporations. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
