Re: Prime number generation goes in infinite loop in OpenAT

Hi Michel, In my case, 'add' and 'rem' parameters are NULL I also agree with you, that 'goto' should be avoided, but that is written by OpenSSL guys. Can you please let me know, how did you get rid of this problem. I have checked everywhere, but did not get any solution, which can solve my

Hi Nischal, As previously mentioned, I solved my problem using what I assume to be the appropriate parameters. So, it won't help you directly. I was only suggesting that infinite loop in those funtions seems to occur because of misuse/bad call/bad context, ... we would normally expect to

I didn't see it before, but in fact, it is stated in the 'bugs' section : |RSA_generate_key()| goes into an infinite loop for illegal input values. Did you read : http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/RSA_generate_key.html || Le 21/01/2014 17:50, Michel a écrit : Hi Nischal, As previously

Hi, We are using openSSL in OpenAT-FXT modem. the version used is 0.9.8h. When I am calling function to generate keys, it goes into infinite loop inside the function and system got crashed. By entering traces, I checked the flow of code Code is given below const int kBits = 4096; RSA *rsa =

Hi, I also experienced going into an infinite loop using BN_generate_prime_ex() function. I my case it was because I didn't fully understand how to use 'add' and 'rem' parameters. I am now assuming they should be used as in dh_builtin_genparams(), in dh_gen.c. I am not qualified to discuss
