Have 2.6.2 but cant gen 2048 bits
All, Following is the output from pgp2.6.2 and me trying to generate 2048 bit keys. What am i doing rong? ;pgp -kg Pretty Good Privacy(tm) 2.6.2 - Public-key encryption for the masses. (c) 1990-1994 Philip Zimmermann, Phil's Pretty Good Software. 11 Oct 94 Uses the RSAREF(tm) Toolkit, which is copyright RSA Data Security, Inc. Distributed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Export of this software may be restricted by the U.S. government. Current time: 1994/12/22 07:47 GMT Pick your RSA key size: 1) 512 bits- Low commercial grade, fast but less secure 2) 768 bits- High commercial grade, medium speed, good security 3) 1024 bits- "Military" grade, slow, highest security Choose 1, 2, or 3, or enter desired number of bits: 2048 Generating an RSA key with a 1024-bit modulus. You need a user ID for your public key. The desired form for this user ID is your name, followed by your E-mail address enclosed in <angle brackets>, if you have an E-mail address. For example: John Q. Smith <12345.6789@compuserve.com> Enter a user ID for your public key: Thanks T

Notice the current time? It is before the 2048-bit key date. Look in the code to find the date! Happy Holidays! -derek
