Description From Bill Baker 2006-12-15 10:01:24

In org.globus.myproxy.MyProxy and org.globus.tools.MyProxy, the default key
length for new credentials is 512 bits.  The C version defaults to 1024 bits,
as of December 2005, when it was changed from 512 bits.

Two lines need to be changed:

  * org.globus.myproxy.MyProxy: line 836, change "512" to "1024"
  * org.globus.tools.MyProxy: line 973, change "512" to "1024"

Or better yet, define a constant somewhere that they both refer to.

Please do bump up the MyProxy key lengths to 1024 bits.  The TAGPMA Profile for
Short Lived Credential Services
(http://www.tagpma.org/files/IGTF-AP-SLCS-20051115-1-1.pdf) requires keys of at
least 1024 bits.
