What's the implication of this? The encryption key 0x7846C3D2 that
Christopher Allbritton used is a 1024 bits ElGamal key. Can it easily be
broken?

What's Amazing Powers(tm)?? How fast was the message decoded? On what kind
of hardware?

Should the keys be longer for secure encryption? And what about the signing
keys?
