[Sheflug] GPG/crypto (was SUID bit)

[Barrie Bremner <nospam [at] ecosse.net>]

Just so you guys can see:

[baz@flux baz]$ gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 1.0.2

Home: ~/.gnupg
Supported algorithms:
Cipher: 3DES, CAST5, BLOWFISH, TWOFISH
Pubkey: ELG-E, DSA, ELG
Hash: MD5, SHA1, RIPEMD160

 Now, I'm sure that I've read that both Blowfish and Twofish are pretty
secure.
 Blowfish is the standard cipher GPG uses for emails.

 DES and Triple-DES are laughably easy to crack, IIRC.
