I am trying to find some documentation that will give a good layman's
explination of 3des, openpgp, and how the bit size of the key effects
the security. If someone could point me in the right direction it would
be greatly appreciated. I am also trying to find some documentation
from a reliable source that I can quote from that will give some
statistics on how difficult something encrypted with openpgp, 3des and
1024 bit key would be to hack.

Thanks in advance
