Symmetric keys are just binary strings (of some fixed size), they don't have a structure like RSA for eg, which would need 3 numbers in the key (N,e,d). The general approach would be to get a stream of random bits to use as your key for the session. -jb ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
