Dear Aleksey , <br>
<br>
That bug you refer to resolved a problem how to transfer a positive
decimal string to a positive integer . <br>
For example , there is a serial number "00 B2 2F 00 00 <i>00 02 20 73
3B 25 34 C4 42 6F"</i> in the certificate , the serial number is a
positive integer for the first byte is 0x00(the first bit is 0) . The
libxmlsec will transfer the SN to "<i>3613992633088206991095317234205295"
</i>in decimal format and transfer back to <i>"B2 2F 00 00 00 02 20 73
3B 25 34 C4 42 6F" </i>in der format . That is a bug for the integer
"00 B2 2F 00 00 <i>00 02 20 73 3B 25 34 C4 42 6F" is not equal to </i>the
integer "B2 2F 00 00 <i>00 02 20 73 3B 25 34 C4 42 6F". </i>That bug
has been fixed in CVS.<i><br>
<br>
</i>This bug we reported is different with that bug.<br>
For example , if there is a serial number "B2 2F 00 00 <i>00 02 20 73
3B 25 34 C4 42 6F"</i> in the certificate , the serial number is a
negative integer for the first byte is 0xB2(the first bit is 1) . The
libxmlsec will transfer the SN to "<i>3613992633088206991095317234205295"
</i>in decimal format and transfer back to <i>"00 B2 2F 00 00 00 02 20
73 3B 25 34 C4 42 6F" </i>in der format . This is a bug for "B2 2F 00
00 <i>00 02 20 73 3B 25 34 C4 42 6F" </i>is a negative integer and "<i>3613992633088206991095317234205295"</i>
is a positive decimal format string. They are not equal.<br>
<br>
It seem that there should be a flag in decimal format to distinguish
whether the decimal string is positive or not , does'nt it?<br>

you are using xmlsec-mscrypto library and if this is

the case then I believe that this bug was already fixed in CVS:

It would be great if you can try the CVS version and report if your
<br>
problem still exists.

Thanks,
