Hi all, Our further research has *not* found any cryptographic use for RSA in reverse (encrypting with private key and decrypting with public key).
The scenarios we were considering involved a software cracker as an adversary. We found a very slight benefit in using "RSA in reverse" over "RSA signing". However, the benefit is so small it's not worth pursuing. Several scenarios looked promising, but fell down in the detail. Thanks to Wei and others whose emails requested detailed scenarios. Our research on anti-cracking measures continues in other areas.... -- Russell Robinson (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Author of Tectite (CRM and Licensing for Software Developers) Download your free CRM from: http://www.tectite.com/
