To further build on Dave's comments, there is a discussion on how to use ECDH in OpenSSL on the Wiki here: http://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Elliptic_Curve_Diffie_Hellman Matt ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
