40 measely bits for asymmetric encryption!? I thought that the US
government said that
the export limits symmetric (DES, Blowfish, IDEA, RC4, etc.) to 40 bits
and asymmetric (PGP, RSA, etc.) to something like 512bits.
I think I also saw that (the 512 bit for Public-key systems) in
PC/Magazine.
Zeros....
