From: openssl-users On Behalf Of open...@lists.killian.com Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2015 13:26 I noticed that openssl(1) says that various things have been superseded by genpkey, so I tried changing my scripts to use it. It works fine for RSA, but the man page is not very helpful on EC.

Hello, I have some questions regarding table '6b - Conditional Tests' of the 2.0.7 Security Policy. It is mentioned that there are continuous tests for stuck fault. Is the meaning of 'continuous' a the matter of frequency ? Or are these continuous tests ran each time an algorithm is used ? The

For that matter and in a general sense, so far I've seen that many encryption methods do not return any error code. How does error reporting generally works ? Really? Which ones? ___ openssl-users mailing list To unsubscribe:
