hi,
Also I understand, though there appears to be no available documentation saying as much, that pgp3.0 will not use RSA, nor IDEA, nor MD5, using instead El Gamal for public key encryption and signatures, 3DES (unsure?), and SHA1.
Can someone confirm that PGP3.0 will use ElGamal?
The PGP 3.0 code that I've been working on has support for: IDEA, 3DES MD5, SHA1 RSA, DSS, ElGamal
It does not discontinue support for the PGP 2.6.2 algorithms. It adds support for new ones.
Absolutely outstanding.
