Cool, I've been looking for an excuse to do something useful on Wine, and 
as one of the developers of libcrypto.so (www.openssl.org) perhaps this 
might be the place? Does anyone have good refs/links to the corresponding 
win32 side of this?

Cheers,
Geoff

RSABASE: enough implementation to get Steam to login

[Mike McCormack]

Hi Geoff,

Having a look at the documentation for the CP* functions on MSDN would 
be a good start.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/security/se...

The next thing to do would be to write your own test program that works 
in Windows, and uses those functions.   Maybe just start by encrypting a 
few bytes, then check they're encrypted right, then decrypting them 
again, and checking they come out to the right thing.

Once your test program works on Windows, run it in Wine, and start 
implementing FIXMEs.

It looks like the CryptXxxx functions are wrappers for each dll's CPXxxx 
functions... eg. ADVAPI32's CryptGenRandom() calls to the CPGenRandom() 
function in the crypt provider's DLL.
