I saw in alt.security.pgp recently that a new release of PGP was due in the next few days from MIT. Evidently this version will handle the generation of keys of up to 2048 bits.

Can anyone substantiate this?

Yes, I can. In fact, I am patching 2.6.1 up to 2.6.2 as I write this letter. There _will_ be a 2.6.2 release, although I cannot confirm the date it will be released. Most likely, it will not be released for at least a week, possibly longer than that, depending on testing results. Official notice will be sent out when the release occurs. Actually, the code will still not _generate_ 2048-bit keys, but it will accept them properly. In the near future PGP will most likely generate keys that size. The official PGP FAQ, Buglist, Improvements is on the Web: http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/warlord/pgp-faq.html This gets updated whenever I receive new bug reports and/or improvements to PGP.

Hope this answers your questions. - -derek -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.1 iQBuAwUBLo+EqDh0K1zBsGrxAQHhGwLDBeXuV1SZDkDe8Zjtgrda8TA68gSYvKoL Re6oR3B84QtD1392E9ArPbejxiNuzPc188SGEo/fMabQnoOWsfaP5sihz+GxIswk TFub8q6MC7RaEsYJi1TGk7E= =qQOJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
