Re: critical bit (5.2.3.1)1998-09-30 08:58:36Hal Finney <hal(_at_)rain(_dot_)org> writes: If an attacker tries to make a signature invalid by adding an unhashed packet with the critical bit set, he could have just as easily modified some part of the hashed region, or the signature itself. I thought about it while working on the import stuff; but you are right it doesn't matter whether the critical bit is in the hashed or unhashed region. Thanks, Werner
