I thought that was the main reason for using a hash of the password/phrase as symmetric key, to usilize the whole keyspace. And of course to have a key of the correct length out of any length password without possibly cutting it off or passing with zeroes (giving a reduced keyspace) as added bonus. -- With kind regards, Johan Wevers _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
