 Currently 1024 bits should be sufficient for most purposes.

-512-bit primes and multiply them. The result of this multiplication
-might be 1024 bits long, or it might be only 1023; so you may not

-DSA keys are not created by multiplying primes together, so they
-should always be exactly the length you asked for.
