First off, anyone notice how quiet it is in here without LD? There used to be 30-40 messages a day, now I only see about 15 (Or so.. no KF)
Nice, isn't it. And the S/N ratio has been much higher.
Second, what size should a remailer key be? Is there really any need for military grade encryption on a remailer that might have 3 or 4 nested messages, each encrypted?
Depends on how fast the system running the remailer is. Key length has little effect on encryption time, but a major effect on decryption time. So if the machine is fast, use a 1024 bit key. If the machine is slow or heavily loaded, and there is nothing going through it that might interest a spook, use a 512 bit key. -- Mike (encrypt your hard drive, ask me how)
