I honestly don't think french law would require you to use 128-bit RSA keys. The 128 bit keysize you are referring to is probably intended for use with the RC4 cipher. I would say that 128 bits would in general be far too small an RSA key to be practically usable, let alone secure. In fact, neither of the two "standard" digest algorithms -- MD5 and SHA-1 -- produce digests small enough to be processed using a 128-bit RSA key, as noted in this error message: > 10399:error:04075070:rsa routines:RSA_sign:digest too big for rsa key:rsa_sign.c:114: Regards, //oscar ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
