Ok, but I need to know its upper bound limit in order to reject bad headers where the skey_len is > of the maximum allowed value. What is it for a key of 1024 bits? 700 bytes are sufficient? Does the pkey_len change too? With a key of 1024 I've only got pkey of 140 bytes (packed). cya ;) -- :wq! "I don't know nothing" The One Who reached the Thinking Matter '.'
