When someone says "I need 16K RSA keys", don't they really mean "I want EC keys"? Because, like, RSA needs to be a lot longer than EC to provide the same security level. Obviously there's problems with that in practice (for GPG) because you need to interact with people still running gpg1 --- cf. EC in OpenSSH. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
