Alright, I spent several hours reading through the information that you
guys suggested. Thanks for those links.
There's still something I don't understand. Perhaps someone can help.
If people recommend 2048 bit keys for RSA, and DSA is comparable to
Elgamal, which is comparable to RSA...
Wouldn't that mean that a 1024 bit DSA key offers less security than what
is recommended?
Or is there a reason why a 1024 bit DSA is about as secure as a 2048 bit
RSA?
Thanks,
Daniel.
