I apologise in advance if this is a stupid question to ask now or if people already asked it before I stepped on the scene, but which algorithm is more secure: DSA and EL GAMAL or RSA? I know the latter has undergone a ridiculous amount of scrutiny and is immensely popular. I also know it generates longer keys.
I have a 4096 RSA key but really never found the answer whilst searching beforehand which one to choose. I know 4096 is much better than 2048, so I can not figure out why Enigmail defaults to a 2048 instead of 4096 but whatever. I am not concerned about speed; I will gladly sacrifice speed for security any day. As always, thanks for the future lessons. -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail transmission, and any documents, files or previous e-mail messages attached to it may contain confidential information that is legally privileged.
