For now, I've added a note in the documentation of RSA_check_key() that explains that it doesn't work properly for hard keys and why. We will ponder a little more on this issue.

Actually, there's no reason to add yet another flag, since RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY is designed to point out that the key is stored externally (the comment in rsa.h explicitely mentions "external hardware"). -- Richard Levitte [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
