Re: Changing signature algorithm



Yes. This is a packetcable requirement that singerInfos have a digestAlgo of sha1 and signatureAlgo of RSA. The function rsa_create_signature() only supports RSAwithSHA1. Modifying it for RSA results in recursive loop. It's not clear to me why this is.

RSA on non-digests is not very common, already done the digest ?
