This is common wisdom; unfortunately, I'm not sure that the common
wisdom is correct.

Answering this in detail will require at least a solid undergraduate
degree in either CS or mathematics. I am coming close to a Ph.D. in
computer science, and I still screw up some of the

Go with Elgamal if you want that every OpenPGP impleentaion can cope
with it
Hello,
I need to create a subordinate key, which will be used for
encryption only. I tried to find out how RSA differ from ElGamal by
searching on the web, but I did not find much useful information.
There are some pages that explain the algorithms in detail, but I'm
not smart enough to evalua
