[OTR-dev] DSA in OTR

[Fedor Brunner]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512



Hi,
the current long term keys in OTR are using old DSA standard NIST
800-57 with 1024 bit prime and with SHA-1 as hash function.

Are there any plans to support new DSA standard FIPS 186-4 ?
Are there any plans to support RSA keys ?

NIST required many applications in federal agencies to move to SHA-2
after 2010 because of the weakness in SHA-1.
