Q: Did you decrypt this question before posting it? ;) Since you are the author of the encryption tool, did you include some marker or header or such that could be used on the decryption end? An encrypted message should not be distinguishable from random noise. At least if everything is working as intended. ;) Mike ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
