Hi PRem, your vendor probably refers to RSA, so yes, you can select RSA + RSA 4096 bits. Background: The "+RSA" means that both the signing and the encryption key-pairs will be done with the RSA algorithm. DSA is a different algorithm, with different strength and weaknesses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Signature_Algorithm Regards Bernhard

Open PGP Standard Format PGP Public Key (4096 bit) using SHA-256 hashing algorit [ Reply ] By: Prem M on 2022-05-13 02:24	[forum:8404]
Hello users, I have been asked by a vendor to provide a "Open PGP Standard Format PGP Public Key (4096 bit) using SHA-256 hashing algorithm". In Kleopatra, I have a choice between RSA and DSA. Is this something to ask the vendor? Does it make a difference? If I choose RSA 4,096 bits: I get an option "+ RSA" (4,096 bits). Do I have to select that option? If I choose DSA, I only see a 2,048 option. The if I select "+ Elgamal", I see a 4,096 too Based on what the vendor has asked me, can you please recommend which option I choose? Thansk, PRem
