Re: Encryption

[Berin Lautenbach <be...@wingsofhermes.org>]

Milan,

Have you had a look inside xtest.cpp?

There is some code in there that *might* help.  (It also might not :<.)

In particular, have a look at "unitTestEncrypt()".  This sets up a 
WinCAPI RSA key and calls "unitTestKeyEncrypt()" to wrap an encryption key.

That particular error would indicate (for example) an RSA key passed 
into something that is expecting a Symmetric key.  E.g. the XENCCipher 
object is set to do AES encryption and gets passed an RSA key.

Cheers,
	Berin
