What does the full struct look like, and what is the length of PUBKEY_MAX_NPKEY.
RSA public keys have 2 components: Public exponent (typically a small integer value with 2 one bits. 65537 is the most common value, followed by 3 and 257). and a modulus (a large integer usually in lengths of 128 bytes, 256 bytes, and 512 bytes, rarely 64 byte are larger then 512 bytes). If there isn't two fields in the structure, then the values are somehow squashed together in some manner. Does GPG support non-RSA keys? Those have yet other characteristics. bob
