Hello all,

I was thinking about the DSA 1024-bit limit.  Is that something I should=20
be worried about?  Is there any hope that this limit will be fixed in the=
=20
forseable future?

If having a 1024-bit key now is cause for concern, then it will become a=20
real problem in a few years.

=46rom the resources people gave me I found some reasoning as to why signin=
g=20
keys can afford to be less secure.  But I'd still be happier if they were=
=20
secure.

Cheers,
--=20
