I assume you mean the OpenSSL implementation of RSA, or is that an absolute rule? The bugdemo that is attached to the bug report comes with a DH key produced by something else (or so I assume, since I couldn't see anything OpenSSL-related in that key). This means that someone might use BN routines with RSA keys coming from other sources as well, and in that case, would it be possible to see small variances in the number of significant bits? -- Richard Levitte [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
