Following the release of SKS 1.1.6 I expect to make this the minimum required version for the subset pool when a sufficient number of servers have been upgraded to the new version. This means that subset.pool.sks-keyservers.net will be ECC safe for all of ECDSA (NIST, Brainpool, serpent etc as defined by RFC6637) as well as Ed25519 signing and Curve25519 encryption keys. https://sks-keyservers.net/overview-of-pools.php#pool_subset will be updated when this change happens in, hopefully a relatively short time. -- ---------------------------- Kristian Fiskerstrand Blog: https://blog.sumptuouscapital.com Twitter: @krifisk ---------------------------- Public OpenPGP certificate at hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net fpr:94CB AFDD 3034 5109 5618 35AA 0B7F 8B60 E3ED FAE3 ---------------------------- "If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts" (Albert Einstein)
