I think that is what you had in mind. Exactly. I interchanged the terms. Weird. Shouldn't public be "public"??? Thank you for clearing this up. There are the other two questions still open ;) : - Does libcrypt do the job? I guess so... - The CAD data may contain a fixed header, so an atacker knowing the header might use this info to easily get the private key? Thank's and Salam, Toni _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
