Hi,

Actually I want to Sign Word Document (.doc) file using RSA (both encryption-decryption & signing-verifying) algorithm. So could you please tell me what modification will be required to make in existing algorithm to support signing word document.

openssl is designed for implementing SSL or 'secure sockets layer' ... its the wrong toolkit for things like signing/encrypting files, for that you would want to look at GPG or similar.
