the modulus is an unsigned integer. in 2s complement representation you need a leading 0 to make it unsigned if your most-significant-byte is > 0x7F (yours is 0xB1 here). -jb -- The biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has occurred. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
