I assume the length of the primes in DSA (p&q 512 and 160 bits) has some
influence on the riliability of the system. What I would like to know
is how much. If I double the length of the exponent (160->320) what
happens? How can I determine the time needed to break DSA in relation to
those two numbers?

Anyone who can enligten this?
