Why? Your preference list makes no sense. > TWOFISH CAST5 BLOWFISH 3DES AES AES192 AES256 CAMELLIA128 > CAMELLIA192 CAMELLIA256 GnuPG and PGP will stop as soon as they hit 3DES. They won't even look at the rest of the ciphers in your preference list. "Okay, Mike likes Twofish, but the recipient doesn't support it... then CAST5, but that's not supported... then Blowfish, again not supported... hey, 3DES. 3DES is *guaranteed* to be supported. The recipient has to speak 3DES. Cool. We'll choose 3DES and not even bother with the rest of the list." > based on recent revelations we should probably not use any > commercially offered cipher Which means what, exactly? 3DES came out of IBM in the 1970s, but it's not a "commercial product" in any sense I can imagine. CAMELLIA came out of a Japanese telecommunications firm, but it's likewise not a "commercial product." There are no "commercially offered ciphers" in GnuPG. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
