Following is the output from pgp2.6.2 and me trying to generate 2048 bit keys. What am i doing rong?

You'll probably get multiple answers for this. The code in PGP that allows you to enter 2048 bit keys isn't enabled until 12/25/94, so you need to set your clock ahead to try this (and don't forget to set it back--I spent three days sending people "Christmas" mail :) Also, though I'm not sure why, it seems that the generated keys are only 2047 bits in length. This was my experience, and has been reported in alt.security.pgp by a number of others as well. Expect about a 15-20 minute key generation time on a 486/66 PC. ======================================================================= Johnathan Corgan "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent" jcorgan@netcom.com -Isaac Asimov PGP Public Key: http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html Or send email to: pgp-public-keys@pgp.ai.mit.edu Subj: GET jcorgan ======================================================================= -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBLvifok1Diok8GKihAQG7ggP/SNuz/n0njIuB2NQ7iIqPH3IWQ4dzOoP0 AlBTiq80CZjVAhTR80d8ckID36cKLRjRKq3kafKqzWoDfevL8UwxXbORIs0kyo6h qnQAg98qOOQMkSh8yxYHOfYL612VMKDMuBlXDSC4dNnItkmCwex780TnZRuq9Hc/ SmkiusdPEFQ= =GFPO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
