Hash: SHA1
Greetings all,
I've only been lurking here for a short while, but I've really enjoyed the
discussions (those that I have
understood anyway). I run debian unstable/sid on this laptop and have enigmail
configured with thunderbird. I also
have claws-email setup to use this same key (with a different email account).
But it was pointed out to me (some
while back) that SHA-1 may not be the best choice. Can anyone direct me as to
how I might properly generate a new key
using SHA-256 or SHA-512? My technical knowledge of encryption is lacking, so
any advice on which is better (or if
there are other good choices that will interoperate with gpg/pgp?) would really
be helpful. I don't consider myself
in the "tinfoil hat" brigade (perhaps others see me differently, but that's
OK), so for the moment (and until I
receive more solid information) I'm perfectly comfortable relying on AES.
My preference would be for a solution that involves little customization
beyond standard debian packages (and if
some mail client other than thunderbird or claws ends up being key, I'm happy
to try to attempt to use a 3rd choice).
But that's not a hard requirement, and if needed, I'm willing to build
packages from source myself (as long as
there's a fair chance that my efforts will ultimately be successful).
If this question is "off-topic" here, please accept my profuse apologies in
advance (though I'd still appreciate
any help from anyone willing to respond to me off-list (if that's not
"cheating")).
thanks so very much in advance for your time,
~c
P.S. Obviously pointers to online documentation, where I can educate myself
better about these things, are as good as
"answers".
