Re: What does the "e-value" do?

Firstly i'd like to thank you for your help. I was always considering that e should be selected at random, so i'm really surprised at the answer. I'm eager to know why 65537 is selected as the e, and are there any fact proofing it is better than other primes seleted out randomly? - Origina

Setting the bit to 128

Is there an option to openssl that enables you to set the bit to 128? I want to generate the cert using the CA.pl script, but by default it sets the bit to 40. I'd like to set the bit to 128. Can someone provide the syntax for this option? Thanks. - Wally Winzer Jr. S/MIME Cryptographic Sign

problems on AIX

Howdy I'm writing to both openssl-users and net-snmp-users because I'm not sure where the bug really lies, but here's the deal: I've compiled net-snmp latest stable and openssl latest stable with -g using gcc on AIX 4.2.1. All net-snmp apps segfault instantly. This will cease to happen if I don'

RE: RSA Encrypt/Decrypt fails

PKCS#1 padding type 1 pads with 0xff bytes, and padding type 2 pads with random data (terminated with a 0x00 byte). You probably observed that RSA_eay_public_encrypt uses padding type 2 (random data), though RSA_eay_private_encrypt uses padding type 1. Since "RSA encryption" typically means encr

IE problems with SSL handshake

Greetings   A few weeks ago I began to look at possibilities into implementing SSL into a webserver I work with.  I began by looking at numerous examples (as well as ordering the SSL/TLS book I have heard so much about, but it still has not arrived), and after a lot of playing around I a

Hi, I need to load a certificate from disk so I can check to see if it validity before time is in the future. I've been trying to use PEM_read_X509 but it crashes. Anyone got any examples that show how to successfully load a certificate from disk and view its contents. I can't find anything

Re: What does the "e-value" do?

First a bit of background. RSA is this: p,q primes N=pq e=prime that is not a factor of p-1 or q-1 and not equal to p or q d = e^-1 mod (p-1)(q-1) public key = {e,N} private key = {d, N} Encryption = X = M^e mod N Decryption = M = X^d mod N The e-value you see in the call is the value e above. Th
