This is not true, not for any sensible definition of 'secure'. My passphrase is literally 16 random bytes read from /dev/random, base64 encoded, to produce a passphrase of 128 bits strength. If you'll pay to run the ad, I'll happily publish my private key in the newspaper of your choice. Yes, I'm serious. If your private key is at risk of being seen by your adversaries then it's extremely important to have a good passphrase. But so long as you do, your private key is safe. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
