I doubt that. The complete set would include all possible key sizes, For DSA that's fixed at
1024 bits, for RSA it's open-ended, though anybody with more than 4096 bits is being very
conservative ;-). We had a 16k-bit key at Thawte, but it blew up most crypto libraries and
toolkits at the time, so we didn't use it much.
