      /* From Daniel Bleichenbacher (via coderpunks):
       *
       * There is still a theoretical attack possible with 8 extra bits.
       * But, the attack would need about 2^66 signatures 2^66 memory and
       * 2^66 time (if I remember that correctly). Compare that to DSA,
       * where the attack requires 2^22 signatures 2^40 memory and 2^64
       * time. And of course, the numbers above are not a real threat for
       * PGP. Using 16 extra bits (i.e. generating a 176 bit random number
       * and reducing it modulo q) will defeat even this theoretical
       * attack.
       * 
       * More generally log_2(q)/8 extra bits are enough to defeat my
       * attack. NIST also plans to update the standard.
