To answer your question ;) : You don't need the prefix random on decryption. You can easily use secure random data for the prefix during encryption and don't need to store it somewhere. On decryption it will be checked, and removed from the plaintext data. best regards carsten _______________________________________________ http://openpgpjs.org
