Hi,
I'm using OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005 (+ security patches to 2007-10-13) on opensolaris 2008.11 b97 and programming in C.
My question is about the message digest *m used into functions in object.*
**
*I have notice a strange *behavior concerning the length of this string: if too long and/or not a multiple of 8 char i receive this error:

error:0407006A:lib(4):func(112):reason(106)

error:0407006A:rsa routines:RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1:block type is not 01


googling i found this explanation: "/RSA_padding_add_PKCS1_type_1(3)/ man page will inform you that PKCS #1 involves block methods for signatures."

but i didn't really understand it :-)

can someone plz explain what kind of limitations there are concerning the message digest m ?

Thanks a lot
