The best numbers I've seen regarding passphrase entropy suggest that plain English text has in the neighborhood of 1.5 to 2.5 bits of entropy per glyph. Just FYI. You can find these numbers in Shannon's original works on entropy, among other places. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
