You are confusing two unrelated issues: encryption key size and search key space. I do not for a moment suggest that we limit the size of encryption keys, especially with quantum computing on the rise lately. But even if we need 4K encryption, 160 bits is still plenty to identify those documents. SVKs will probably have to carry the whole key in the Send.Insert message, but the requests still only need a hash of it. -- Lee Daniel Crocker <lee at piclab.com> <http://www.piclab.com/lcrocker.html> "All inventions or works of authorship original to me, herein and past, are placed irrevocably in the public domain, and may be used or modified for any purpose, without permission, attribution, or notification."--LDC _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
