More importantly, perhaps, Krawczyk has shown that, in general, sign 
then encrypt is insecure.


Which exact paper do you mean?

http://eprint.iacr.org/2001/045


Which nicely says, already in the abstract btw, "Thus, while we show the
generic security of SSL to be broken, the current standard
implementations of the protocol that use the above modes of encryption
are safe."

Sure. What does this have to do with OpenPGP's security?

psst... it was you bringing up that argument about the paper ;)

Greets,
