Re: Integer to byte*

[Shawn Masters]

	Well, there is a slight disconnect between Integer and an array of 
octets.  This stems from the multitude of ways they can be represented. 
 If you want a byte of the n-bit Integer then you can get one (given 
normal byte boundaries) with GetByte().  You can also get the ASN.1 
encoding on an Integer, which is a stream of octets with a header 
explaining how long it is, and that it is an Integer.

	Normally a definitive format like DEREncoding to ASN.1 then hashing is 
a good way of doing this.  It eliminates ordering and other problems 
that can crop up.

Hello!
Is there any special function to transform an "Integer" to "byte*" and 
vice versa? Or maybe simple casting is enough. I need these functions to 
perform hashing on Integers.
