Bruce himself recommends AES over TWOFISH. > I don't trust 3DES Why? Bruce himself has said that if speed isn't a concern, nothing else comes close to the trust level of 3DES. FWIW, I don't much care for the Cult of Schneier. He's a good cryppie, a good writer, a top-notch communicator -- but the idea of "supporting" him is, IMO, a little crazy. > 1.

No. A modified Borda count is used. With respect to your prefs, my standard advice applies: unless you know what you're doing and why, stick with the defaults. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
