When you generate a key using GnuPG 1.4.11 for Linux then you can use an encryption strength anywhere between 1024 and 4096 bits, and default is 2048 bits. What should be a minimum, and when is it overkill?Pine is unfamiliar with the concept of this "overkill" you mention.8192 bit keys FTW!16384 bit keys! More! More! More!:DYes, but 4096-bit is fine for SR. Even for vendors.Nobody should use key sizes larger than that unless they really know what they're doing and why.
