Hi, Attached is a patch that causes the nCipher hardware support in OpenSSL 0.9.7b to fall back to software computation if a hardware problem is reported, naturally only for software keys. Other hardware implementations do similar things, and there are FIXME comments in 0.9.7b's hw_ncipher.c noting that this should be done.
Please let me know if I should produce this patch against a 0.9.8 snapshot as well or instead. [Resending because I wasn't subscribed to openssl-dev first time round; apologies if this arrives twice.] Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Engineer nCipher Corporation Limited ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
