I did not delve so deep into the logic of bacula, but did you think of encrypting the digest with the session key that encrypts the rest of the data? Then it would not be necessary to RSA-Sign it. Would there be any problem with such a solution that should probably be faster. I think that when using public key encryption, there will be a session key generated. And this session key - in my opinion - should be used for every later encryption task. So there could be an option whether one wants to RSA sign the digest or encrypt the digest. Is there a possibility to make the described configurable in bacula? If I am wrong somewhere or this is not possible due to some reasons, please correct me.
