Hi, everybody!
I've recently switched over (by way of gpg4win) to GPG 2.0.12 and
there's one thing I'm wondering: When I start gpg, my firewall asks me
if I want to allow gpg-agent to connect to the network. Being one of
those strange people who prefer it when his programs aren't online
Although I usually get a wide range of responses, is there any
practical advice an end-user should take away from the recent AES256
attacks as described

Should I continue to use AES256 (double AES) or default to single AES

Don't care about it. It is no threat to use AES 256 or AES 128. The

I am sure others will start a new debate now what to do, but I consider
