Hello,

I am looking for a patch for GnuPG 1.0.6 to generate at least 2048 bits
DES keys.

Due to http://www.cyber-rights.org/interception/stoa/ic2kreport.htm
the N^S^A is able to break 1024 bits and longer DES keys ...

Own to some e^s^p^i^o^n^a^g^e activities in the business field
(E^C^H^E^L^O^N)
it seems to be recommended to use respectively longer keys.

Any info, ideas or comments are welcome!

Thank you in adnvace.

regards,
Marek Schneider
