encryption algorithm

[Robert J. Hansen]

> Hi!  What encryption algorithm do we use in OpenPGP

It depends a lot on how you have GnuPG configured and how your  
recipient's certificate is configured.

For asymmetric encryption, either RSA or Elgamal will be used.

For symmetric encryption, one of Twofish, AES256, AES192, AES128,  
Camellia256, Camellia192, Camellia128, CAST5-128, Blowfish, IDEA or  
3DES will be used.
