Subject: strength of DSA keys in JDK
hey -
what is the strength of a DSA key pair in the JDK?
i know that you can set a "strength" parameter of
the initialize() method of the KeyPairGenerator
object. from what i found in the documentation,
this number sets the bit length of the modulus
used to calculate the key. what is the maximum
strength of a DSA key pair? what is the weakest?
thanks for your time...
