In section 11.1, the possibility of a dual-use V4 RSA key is explicitly mentioned (at least that's my interpretation). Even generating V3 RSA keys is clearly permitted. IMHO, anything else would be ridiculous. Why do you think sign/encrypt V4 keys are forbidden by OpenPGP? -- Florian Weimer Florian.Weimer@RUS.Uni-Stuttgart.DE University of Stuttgart http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/ RUS-CERT +49-711-685-5973/fax +49-711-685-5898
