[ snip ] Thank you for a really good and useful answer. I hope some of that can make it into the FAQ. If I understand you correctly then the situation is this: - if you want longer symmetric cyphers, then you are asking for something that is a mathematical and physical nonsense. - if you use longer RSA keys, you are being unduly paranoid, and asking for something that would make life awkward for mobile devices, etc, but not asking for something that is a complete nonsense -- just unhelpfully paranoid. I think it would be good if the FAQ managed to capture that.
