The reason for Elgamal signing keys was that back when I started with GnuPG it was not clear whether DSA was patented. Thus using Elgamal for signing was the only clearly non-patented method. Only in the course of developing OpenPGP in 1998 it got clear that we can use DSA without problems. Gpg than changed to that. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
