I looked into this and it looks like I might be able to get by with
this. I didn't find this function before, I am asking my primary
customer if the signature would be sufficient.
I am having trouble seeing how I would post the encrypted data to a
website and get it back without it changing some. So this option might
work better for me (at least quicker), if he's ok with that option.
By replay attack I assume you mean posting old data with the signature
that is valid for that data? Thanks for the warning, I suppose I could
include a date/timestamp in the data.
Thanks again, this has been very helpful.
