rjh@maggie:~$ gpg --gen-key gpg: WARNING: using experimental features from RFC4880bis! Note: Use "gpg --full-generate-key" for a full featured key generation dialog. GnuPG needs to construct a user ID to identify your key. Real name: Delete Me Email address: del...@example.org You selected this USER-ID: "Delete Me <del...@example.org>" Change (N)ame, (E)mail, or (O)kay/(Q)uit? o We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea... [snip] Where in there was I ever asked to choose an algorithm? "Unless you know what you're doing and why, use the defaults." I've been saying that for twenty years now. I keep thinking that someday someone will actually take it seriously... _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
