Is it possible to get a keydump of all gpg-keys? Are there any usage
restrictions? What would the size of the data be?
Someone just launched it's service some days ago. You can fetch them
there:
http://key.bbs4.us/dump/
I think that the dumps are around 6Gb, now. Am I right ?
I would say that as the keys are public, you can (try) to do what you want
with them, but I'm not a lawyer, so… ^^
They tried
some trivial factorization methods, like computing gcd, etc. and had
success. Also many of the keys were the same due to embedded devices,
having not enough entropy.
I want to do the same or something similar on gpg-keys. Do you know
of any research which was already done?
That seems interesting, although I don't think it would work with PGP
keys, but that's just a gut feeling, nothing scientific ;).
Good luck to you,
Cheers,
Frank
