I seem to have missed it, but where do I get this Windows binary
from? Will it be compatible with Reliable remailing software?


Now that there's a general agreement that mixmaster key size
should be upgraded, I was wondering why you still use only 1024 bit
for legacy RSA keys and/or DSS subkeys (which additionaly never expire).

I suggest using 4096 bit DSS subkey, and expiring and rotating it
together with the mixmaster key (the DSS master key doesn't need to
expire or use more bits, as it is not used for remailing).

If offered, the RSA key also should use more than 1024 bit, probably
2048, as I know from my own client that > 2048 bit is not supported by
every PGP client.


Just my thoughts.

Bye,
