The former would be my preference. I already know that I could disable the padding and cope with it in my application. However, coping with FIPS 81 padding would be a minor change to the OpenSSL code, which I've done locally. I could submit a patch, but it's trivial. The "issues" are how to cope with it within the set_padding function. Is this something that the team would be interested in adding, or is there a reason why it's not been done? - DR ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
