As well know the user can choose between RSA and DH/DSS key pair generation in
PGP.

Are there statistics how much existing key pairs belong to the RSA type and how
much
to the DH/DSS type?

Towards which key pair type is the trend going during the last years ?

If possible an additional statistic about the key lengths would be interesting.

The trend, in my opinion..., seems to be RSA. Not to mention it is the
current default key of PGP Corp and is used by most Social Engineers.
:-) Both are great, However, I would roll the dice with what the boys @
MIT built. It's Proven! Last..., why take a chance with something NSA
Built. Especially with operation "CYBEI2:STOI2M" still in progess...

1. RSA: - Created in 1977 by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Len Adleman at MIT.
2. DH/DSS: - Created by David W. Kravitz, @ NSA.
