NIST publishes new DSA draft2006-03-14 09:27:54In the OpenPGP context, probably the most interesting bit is that the 160-bit hash limit has been removed. The sizes supported are: * 1024-bit key, 160-bit hash (the current DSA) * 2048-bit key, 224-bit hash (presumably aimed at SHA-224) * 2048-bit key, 256-bit hash (presumably aimed at SHA-256) * 3072-bit key, 256-bit hash (presumably aimed at SHA-256) It also adds the concept of using a larger hash than will fit by taking the leftmost bits. http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts.html David
