Public Key Ring

Hi !

Just another thing I don't understand:

In PGP Version 5.5i are some public Keys included e.g.:
Name                             KeyID
 
Brett A. Thomas               0x38257478
Jon Callas                    0xF12927A9
Phillip R. Zimmermann         0xC7A966DD
Vesselin V. Bontchev          0x32DD98D9
Will Price                    0xCF73EC4C
Christoph Moser               0x579B336B


Ok, and when I encrypt a message to these persons the packets look just like
these:

Public-Key Encrypted Session Key Packet
KeyID : E7 2C D7 95 F2 79 E5 81 
Public-Key Encrypted Session Key Packet
KeyID : 56 B2 C7 B8 4C 12 CF B0 
Public-Key Encrypted Session Key Packet
KeyID : 7E FA 25 C6 73 35 7D 11 
Public-Key Encrypted Session Key Packet
KeyID : 11 30 C6 76 C0 95 F2 72 
Public-Key Encrypted Session Key Packet
KeyID : 36 56 97 C6 32 DD 98 D9 
Public-Key Encrypted Session Key Packet
KeyID : 65 79 84 B8 C7 A9 66 DD 

Symmetrically Encrypted Data Packet

But only the KeyIDs of Bontchev and Zimmermann fits to the ones that
the PGP 5.5i implementation shows. And these two keys are RSA keys - the
others are DSA keys. Why that ?

Bye
