> Q: Why should some ciphers be avoided for bulk encryption? "Some ciphers" is probably not enough for those who frequently ask about that topic. I therefore suggest to give an example and to connect the above mentioned ciphers to the term "64-bit ciphers", which would make the text more understandable for the "common reader", e.g. Q: Why should some 64-bit ciphers like CAST, BLOWFISH... be avoided for bulk encryption? The text as-is assumes that the reader knows what you mean by "64-bit ciphers", which most probably isn't the case. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
