Add native support for PK 8192
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hello,
Due to recent revelations that even Snowden used 8192 and that it will be useful
for longer-term data security. I am requesting this feature be added to GNUPG.
You may refer to this article for the story on snowden's key:

You may also refer to these two sites which have already made the patch:

Thank you for your time and concern.
