Its a lot more space and CPU efficient purportedly. Check out their website (www.certicom.com) for a neat tutorial on what elliptic curve cryptography is. I don't know if there is public domain software in the space, or if there is room for such amid the patents. - Rod ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
