Hi Anibal! It seems to me that I should have sent this into the proper Debian list and not debconf-discuss@, but since you kindly mentioned the subject, I fired it up in here! 8) Is any ECC crypto set allowed by FTP-Master/Debian Keyring Manaintainers by these days? I understand it has not been accepted as part of the gnupg/opengpg standards. A quick dive into the Debian Keyring seems not one key has been uploaded/got accepted one yet: dererk <at> erebus[~]$ gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg --list-sigs | grep ^pub | awk '{print $2}' | sort | uniq -c 1 dsa3072 1 rsa10240 29 rsa2048 4 rsa3072 1 rsa3744 1 rsa3936 808 rsa4096 1 rsa5120 6 rsa8192 I still use my 4Krsa key for lots of stuff, and even though I'm not dpk^W a person that truly understands the underlining math that supports it, I just particularly find ECC to be extremely practical when dealing with smaller cryptographic challenges/computing power required, and also smaller public keys and still get served beef :D Thanks for always push this stuff year after year! Cheers, Dererk -- She liked him; he was a man of many qualities, even if most of them were bad. _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
