Re: [TCLUG:21218] PGP5 vs PGP2 vs GPG

["Gabe Turner (officer)" <dopp@acm.cs.umn.edu>]

AFAIK, gpg does not _yet_ include RSA encryption.  I'm sure they've been
working vigorously to include it since the algo was released into the
public domain. Also, AFIAK, there is some extremely obscure security hole
with PGP v.* (yes, all versions - well at least up through 5).  Personally,
I use PGP 2.6 because most of the keys I see are of the RSA sort.
