Just out of curiosity I wanted to know the kind of numbers we are dealing with
if

I think 4096 is enough for me, I don’t want to key of length 8192.
I was just suggesting that the key generation dialogue in gpg could

1. I just tried to generate an RSA keypair using `gpg` on the command line, and
it
asks me to choose a key length between 1024 and 8192. Here is th
