It is well known that the parameters don't validate according to the spec. I am in the process of trying to get valid parameters according to the DH spec. Notice that for the DH keys, the seed is not of sufficent length. If you allow for the seed length then they should validate. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dr Stephen Henson [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, December 17, 1999 7:02 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: BobDHEncryptByCarl.cer > > > I echo the first question.
