On the included estimations of the frequency that this occurs. I scraped a collection of (mainly developer) public keys for a previous project and got the following numbers.
sqlite> select count(*) from keys;
1627715
Quite a difference between the ratio of 2047/2048 bit keys and 1023/1024 bit keys.
sqlite> select count(*) from keys where strength = "2048";
936441
sqlite> select count(*) from keys where strength = "2047";
466
sqlite> select count(*) from keys where strength = "1024";
39068
sqlite> select count(*) from keys where strength = "1023";
5908
Interestingly also:
sqlite> select count(*) from keys where strength = "2049";
13
sqlite> select count(*) from keys where strength = "2050";
5
sqlite> select count(*) from keys where strength = "2051";
1
sqlite> select count(*) from keys where strength = "2052";

- eqvinox 5y agoI vaguely remember a recommendation to use non-power-of-two key lengths, but that was ~15 years ago and I have absolutely no memory of any details (might even have been a DSA thing.) I do, however, have a whole bunch of 2111-bit keys still in use (cycled a few times of course.)
