Would it reduce security or be unsafe to simply prepend zero bytes after calling BN_bn2bin to make it fill 128 bytes? I've tried this and it seems to work: BN_bin2bn on that zero-prepended buffer detects the unnecessary zeros and returns the 127 byte BIGNUM. I don't want to do something that would be bad in some way. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
