Using DSA authentication for secure addon messages

[Brusalk]

Hi all,

For a project of mine that I'm considering, I'm interested in the ability to digitally sign messages sent to other users of the addon, such that the receiver can verify the authenticity of the messages being sent.

I've found LibDSA which claims to essentially do what I'm interested in, but I don't have the technical expertise to verify the code that's used, which is leading me to believe I may need to spend time to develop my own DSA decrypt method in pure Lua.

For this, I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with doing this within WoW, or has maybe used LibDSA before for a project.


I'm guessing this won't get many replies, but I'm looking forward to anyone that, by some miracle, has some experience with doing what I'm thinking about doing.

what do you want to know, there really isn't much to it, 80% of libdsa was the big number library.
