/* RSA key lengths. */ #define MIN_RSA_MODULUS_BITS 508 #define MAX_RSA_MODULUS_BITS 1024 #define MAX_RSA_MODULUS_LEN ((MAX_RSA_MODULUS_BITS + 7) / 8) #define MAX_RSA_PRIME_BITS ((MAX_RSA_MODULUS_BITS + 1) / 2) #define MAX_RSA_PRIME_LEN ((MAX_RSA_PRIME_BITS + 7) / 8)
Unfortunately this still doesn't explain Charlie Kaufman's comment (paraphrased) that the "crypto software also limited us to 760 bit RSA keys". Futplex <futplex@pseudonym.com>
