Hi Richard,

I read your modest and informative message.

Both are fine qualities.

May I please have your thoughts on two questions: 

1.) Do you happen to know if data can be encrypted
    with both public and private keys (the later
    being called a signature)?

2.) Can any individual key be used for both
    encryption and decryption (although not on the
    same exact data)?

Thanks,
Kingsley
