I'm not an openssl pro but I'm pretty sure you should do this: //This means that PRNG is seeded DBS_cblock pKey; DES_random_key(&pKey);

I m using following code int main() { int iStatus = RAND_status(); if(iStatus != 1) { return 0; } //This means that PRNG is seeded DBS_cblock* pKey; DES_random_key(pKey); } here RAND_status() function returns 1 so PRNG is seeded then why DES_random_key is throwing an error??? Also if you can give a link to any tutorial on using opnSSL then it will be of great help. Thanking you in advance, Banti _________________________________________________________________ Big guns are booming!
