Hey!

I just had a short look at OTR and noticed that OTR is using DSA keys;
trying to find more details I found this:
https://www.mail-archive.com/otr-dev@lists.cypherpunks.ca/msg00977.html
"the current long term keys in OTR are using old DSA standard
 NIST 800-57 with 1024 bit prime and with SHA-1 as hash function."

Is there anyone who may comment on the security of OTR? we have OTR
featured in src/practical_settings/im.tex
