Re: Endless Loop - possible Bug?

I tried to the Bug in my Code, but i can not find anything. I have
reduced my code somewhat more, but the problem remains. Can it be a bug
in Crypto++ or do i something wrong?.

The RSA key you pass in is not a valid key (the modulus is even,
which can't be valid), and also the order in which the parameters are
passed is wrong.

I've added checks to the code in CVS to detect invalid keys when only n,
e, d are passed in and to throw an exception in that case instead of going
into an infinite loop.
