Is there any chance that somone will comment on this topic anytime
soon ?

PT> Does the attached oneliner make sense ? IMO it doesnt break anything,
PT> but allows reusing the EVP_CIPHER_CTX in calls to EVP_EncryptUpdate,
PT> after EVP_EncryptFinal is called.

PT> Any comments greatly appreciated :)

PT> The diff is against the released 0.9.6c version of the OpenSSL
PT> library.

PT>> Currently EVP_Encrypt* interface doesnt support
PT>> encryption of multiple data streams with a single
PT>> symmetric key. Is there any chance patches to
PT>> allow this to be accepted in the official OpenSSL
PT>> codebase ? Currently I'm thinking to modify EVP_EncryptFinal
PT>> so it leaves the EVP_CIPHER_STATE in a consistent state
PT>> after finishing its work.

PT>> Any comments on this ? I am aware of the fact that encrypting
PT>> multiple data streams with a single key is not such a good idea
PT>> of a security point of view.
