1) I 'm not a C programmer so can anyone tell me what datastructures are used in the
bignum libraries used in pgp, rsaeref to represent huge integers.
2) Is cascading hashfunctions a secure enough method to generate random numbers
for public key generation? If so, then, since a hashfunction should at least be injective
as a mapping, is a seed the size of the hash size large enough?

Sincerily yours
Walied Othman
