Can I use the public key as secret key and backwards? Then I can use OAEP for "signing" with the secret public key :-) and use the public secret key in Linux-PAM for "verify the signature". The advantage therefor is that I can use OAEP random(?) padding to get of the _same_ plaintext different chiffertexts. > In my point of view, if I use padding (e.g. PKCS#1 v1.5) every > chiffertext of the _same_ plaintext looks _different_?!?! Of course, only when using OAEP the chiffertext of the _same_ plaintext looks _different_!!!
