I use rot26 -- it's twice as good!

Brian Stanaland, 
No mistake. "RSA key" is a valid thing in this context... 

gpg --gen-key 
gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.13; Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 
This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. 
There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. 

Please select what kind of key you want: 
(1) RSA and RSA (default) 
(2) DSA and Elgamal 
(3) DSA (sign only) 
(4) RSA (sign only) 

Not that I know anything about GPG. I use rot13 for everything.
