It seems we have two ways of expressing a DSAPublicKey as bytes. The first way we write to an output stream the public key and then the group, and the other we return the group then the public key as bytes. The usage of both of these can be seen in FnpLink. (note: it could very well be a crypto thing since we feed DSAPublicKey.asBytes to sha, but I don't think it is)
public class DSAPublicKey extends CryptoKey { public void writeForWire(OutputStream out) throws IOException { Util.writeMPI(y, out); group.writeForWire(out); } public byte[] asBytes() { byte[] groupBytes=group.asBytes(); byte[] ybytes=Util.MPIbytes(y); byte[] bytes=new byte[groupBytes.length + ybytes.length]; System.arraycopy(groupBytes, 0, bytes, 0, groupBytes.length); System.arraycopy(ybytes, 0, bytes, groupBytes.length, ybytes.length); return bytes; } } -Mathew _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
