What encryption algorithm do you prefer for asymmetric keys, specifically signing?
#cryptography #pgp #GPG #GnuPG
@freemo Not DSA for sure.
@waltercool Agreed, feel free to elaborate though.
@freemo I don't remember the exact details, but DSA public key algorithm, but it's considered weak in comparison to RDA or ECC strategies.
Several services like SSH have it disabled by default if not removed from codebase.

@waltercool Oh that.. it isnt "weak" so much as needing special care.. It is just as strong as the others when handled properly and when using a key of adequate strength and all.
In short the problem is if a system uses a non-secure random value when generating the negotiation then over time it can expose the private key. However if it is secure random (which it should be anyway) it is secure.
