The latest Counterpane crypto-gram newsletter has a *very* readable
essay on "Key Length and Security" which explains in a very clear
way why longer keys don't deliver the security they are usually
promised to. I highly recommend the article.
http://www.counterpane.com/crypto-gram-9910.html#KeyLengthandSecurity

There are also some interesting comments at the end of this issue that
point out the woeful security of several of the online stock trading
companies.

I recommend signing up for this monthly newletter if you are interested
in tracking crypto-related developments.
