FWIW, we’re currently doing 2048-bit KSK and 1024-bit ZSK, but will shortly be transitioning to 4096-and-2048. > > -Bill > Doing these big jumps is the wrong thing to do, increasing the key size increases three things: time to generate signatures bits on the wire verification time. I care more about verification time than bits on the wire (as I think that is a red herring). Signing time increase is a self inflicted wound so that is immaterial. sign verify sign/s verify/s rsa 1024 bits 0.000256s 0.000016s 3902.8 62233.2 rsa 2048 bits 0.001722s 0.000053s 580.7 18852.8 rsa 4096 bits 0.012506s 0.000199s 80.0 5016.8 Thus doubling the key size decreases the verification performance by roughly by about 70%. KSK's verification times affect the time to traverse the DNS tree, thus If 1024 is too short 1280 is fine for now If 2048 is too short 2400 bit key is much harder to break thus it should be fine. just a plea for key use policy sanity not picking on Bill in any way.
