thanks a lot for your suggestion.it was of great help.
but i further want some favour fron you regarding the same.
that muscletool program, docrypt function, is in one line showing it is not using any padding
cryptInit.cipherMode = MSC_MODE_RSA_NOPAD;
and then in next line it is using a function :
padData(inCryptData, inDataSize, keySize);
i am not able to find this paddata function so that i can modify the program according to my requirement.
is it using some padding or mode or not.i just want to use RSA with no padding.
Moreover i want to remove bintohex format in my output and want bintobytes format
as output i.e. output in bytes format.
Kindly tell me what changes i need to do in my program to suit these two requirements.
i would not like to alter the process ,as it given in the program i.e.encryption using privatekey.
i will be very thankful if you can help me with these problems.
thanks and regards
vigya

A long time ago, I believe I altered muscleTool's void doCrypt() method.
