I mentioned this a few months ago, you had said you did it at PETS 2004. [0,1] Something I found strange in their paper was this quote: "PGP keys have no expiration dates or hashes. All public keys were further analysed as described below." (bottom of page 4) PGP keys *may* have no expiration date, but they may, and anecdotally most I've seen do. Likewise, nearly all keys have a self-signed UID associated with them, and that signature uses a hash algorithm. -tom [0] Original Thread: http://lists.randombit.net/pipermail/cryptography/2011-September/001301.html [0] Your Reply: http://lists.randombit.net/pipermail/cryptography/2011-September/001305.html _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list [email protected] http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
