i'm surprised there is no ready-made, freely licensed single C/C++ header RSA. there is for SHA1 and AES so i assumed i'd have as easy of a time with RSA

secondly, why does Steam require RSA public key encryption ability for logging in with a password. it's kind of cool but i'm already using HTTPS... and i don't need it when using netfilter to log in but you don't get a steam guard token so you have to provide password every time over a tunnel less secure than HTTPS and-

@ipg@wetdry.world I think part of the problem is that SHA and AES just deal with byte buffers... whereas RSA actually deals with big integers, which means you need to bring in an entire bigmath library and invent a serialisation format and now you're basically reinventing OpenSSL...
