-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi TIA,
this warning could mean you have a key with a length of "only" 1024bit. Today I personally would recommend 4096bit. 8000bit seems a bit too much and you might use encryption on your mobile which has less horse-power. Hope this helps, steve Am 05.03.2011 um 01:19 schrieb NV: > Hello. > > On 5 March 2011, at 00:06, Charly Avital wrote: > >> NV wrote the following on 3/4/11 6:40 PM: >>> >>> In the GPG Keychain Access key above photography I see >>> "This key may be unsafe" in red. >>> >>> What does it mean and what could be wrong with this key? >>> >>> TIA >> >> >> The most likely cause (but not the only one) is that your passphrase is >> not strong enough. >> When you generate a key, and enter the passphrase of your choice, gnupg >> will balk at you if it considers that your passphrase is not strong >> enough.
