Hello everyone, I am fairly new with openssl and am trying to write a function which can make a public / private key pair with GMP (an open source big number library). I am doing this to compare the running time with openssl. I have a few questions regarding the openssl genrsa command:
- What kind of random initialisation is being performed to be sure no-one can predict the output of the random generator? - Does openssl use "normal" primes of a certain number of bits or is it generating the so-called strong primes? And if it is generating strong primes what kinds of algortithm for this generating process is used (Gordon's algorithm or something else)? Thanks in advance, Joppe Bos ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
