Thanks for the response :) I've decided to just update status at each of the function calls and call it good. It pauses for a few seconds at the actual key generation but overall the effect isn't bad.
Also many thanks for providing such a robust crypto library. I am a C++ guy turned Java turned Win32 C++ and I was not looking forward to writing my own large int library and such to get this program written. Crypto++ has been very useful (if a little difficult to understand at first). Great work, and keep it up :) Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wei Dai" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 11:23 AM Subject: Re: RSA key generation status? > No there isn't.

I am wondering if there is any way to get the status of the key generation as it runs? I realize there isn't a definitle amount of time generating a key takes but I was looking for something basic such as an update each time a prime is tested or something along those lines. > > > > I am generating my keys using code that is basically straight out of the test.cpp program.
