Hans,
I printed the size of the alloc after the mp_exptmod_fast() function
was called and it was changing from 0x40 to 0xC0. So this is what i
did in my keyread function(which reads from the file all the fields of
mp_int ) after i allocate the memory. This seems to solve the problem.
if (dh_pub->alloc != MP_PREC)
{
m_free (dh_pub->dp);
dh_pub->dp = m_malloc (sizeof (mp_int) * dh_pub->alloc);
TRACE (("pub key Alloc size changed\n"));
}
