Posting them on Usenet, which Google has cached for eternity, was not a good idea.This was intended as a joke/thought experiment, which is why May used a 384-bit key. I can remember versions of PGP that specified 384-bit keys for personal use, 512-bit for business use, and 1024-bits as a maximum key size. It was about 12-15 years ago that Phil gave every PGP user a Christmas present, when the software switched-on a flag on December 25th, allowing the generation/use of 2047-bit keys. (They were supposed to be 2048, but there was a bug.) Since that keysize was enabled, anyone with even a lick of sense has been using 2048-bit keys. (I know I haven't used any key smaller than 2048-bits since then.) Additionally, anyone posting to Usenet should have used a layer of conventional encryption, if for no other reason than to frustrate traffic analysis.
