Hi all, After reading a lot on "small exponents" in RSA public keys, it seems to me that the issue is only if I am not using libraries like OpenSSL for signing, but if I use RSA_Sign or EVP_Sign they implement PKCS#1 and that solves that problem even if I sign the same plain text e times. So if I

Alright. I'm certainly not suggesting that if you link to a FIPS-certified module, your entire product becomes FIPS-compliant -- as far as I understand, your app still has to go through the same testing procedures, it just doesn't have to go through quite the same crypto validation procedures. (I
