To verify, a public key is used and it usually means small public exponent value. No wonder calculating signature-to-verify power public exponent takes much less time than padded-hash-to-sign power full-size private exponent have fun, Vadim ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
