Oh, I'm not worried because I'm not speculating but basing my point on history. This output format has not changed once since at least OpenSSL 0.9.1 introduced 16 years ago. So I tend to think it will not change all of a sudden. That's the reason why I felt it was safer. Of course, like you I prefer to compare bits than strings :-/ > This patch looks in the cipher's description instead of its name. Great, thank you, I've just merged it. > Sorry about the mess. No problem, I know very well that patches tend to be merged in two steps, first the feature itself is merged, then the pressure builds and it leads to "hmmm oops, I think I forgot this... ah sh*t". And I'm a good practicer of this :-) Thanks Rémi! Willy
