Whatever traffic someone decides to send me, if it's valid OpenPGP traffic, I want to be able to make sense of it. However, when it comes to sending traffic, I tend to be much more restrained: I have most of my machines set up with a personal-cipher-preference of 3DES, and a personal-digest-preference of SHA256. I don't mind if we as a community decide to restrict OpenPGP to a smaller subset of algorithms. I don't think I should try to coerce my prejudices on the traffic sent to me by others. I think the best way to restrict algorithms is by community consensus, not by me restricting the list of algorithms in my key preference list. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
