I'm sitting here browsing through my copy of applied cryptography and I start to think. How long will my 2047 bit PGP key be secure? When I look for secure I don't mean my family or the occasional hacker. I mean like a martial law state. DES 56bit can be cracked in days or hours, public key cryptography is substancially easier to break than symetric cryptography such as DES. I want to get the best encrytion I can so that one day when my computer is dug out of the ground and put in an exibit at a college they still can't break my key. I understand my key is secure now, but what about in ten years when I'm famous and my history is worth a mil? :) Is mit still developing Mit PGP? or is 2.6.2 the last free version of PGP that we will ever see? _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
