Correct me if I'm wrong, but ZeroMQ uses crypto_box() for the actual crypto operation, does it? In that case the correct answer would be: crypto_box() calculates the shared secret using scalar multiplication from the senders private key and the recipients public key, encrypts the data symmetrically using that shared secret and appends a mac when done. - Tom _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
