Hi, as technology gets faster we must increase our keysizes preemptively to ensure future-security.

I am suggesting increasing the PGP MAXIMUM keysize to double the current maximum. A larger key could be twice as secure, and would only take a few seconds longer to encrypt a message.

please increase the pgp keysizes.

thanks
