Hi Nicolas, There is also this site that may be of interest: https://www.keylength.com/ As for your question, actually that was answered in GnuPG FAQ: https://www.gnupg.org/faq/gnupg-faq.html#default_rsa2048 Kind regards, Wiktor On 07.11.2018 07:53, Nicholas Papadonis wrote: > For those

Support for RSA keys > 4096 bits

2018-11-06 Thread Nicholas Papadonis
I read in NIST 800-57 Part 1 Rev. 4 pg 53 that RSA keys length of 15360 bits is equivalent to a 256 bit AES symmetric key. I also read in other documentation that NIST recommends such key lengths to protect data beyond 2030. As email may be retained for many years it would seem appropriate to
