 I am pleased to announce that v1.4 of the PGP DH vs. RSA FAQ is
 now published at www.scramdisk.clara.net/pgpfaq.html

 It now comes to ~230Kb, so a zipped copy is now available at

 browse off line.

 Changes to v1.4 are as follows:

 Minor grammar / spelling related changes
 Updated references to FIPS186 to the revised FIPS186-1
 USENET references now contain link to deja.com where
 available
 Added section "What is the chance of running out of
 primes?"
 Added section "What about Elliptic Curves?"
 Added section "What is AES?"
 Added section "What is Twofish?"
 Added section "What are the implications of Shamir's
 TWINKLE device on PGP security?"
 Added detail to "The huge key debate."
 Added detail to "What is DH / ElGamal?"
 Added detail to "So there are no intellectual property
 issues relating to PGP v5+?"

 Any feedback / additions / flames are welcome :)
