You´re right about that. The main goal is indeed providing authenticity
(without the need for a real digital signature, but MACs won´t do), the
encryption being a nice add-on effect.
Im reimplemented it with my own padding (random data), which I should´ve
done from the beginning indeed. That still would´ve sent me into the modulo
trap, though. :)
