+ * where the attack requires 2^22 signatures 2^40 memory and 2^64
+ * time. And of course, the numbers above are not a real threat for
+ * PGP. Using 16 extra bits (i.e. generating a 176 bit random number
+ * and reducing it modulo q) will defeat even this theoretical
+ * attack.
+ *
+ * More generally log_2(q)/8 extra bits are enough to defeat my
