[WARN] crypto error while checking RSA signature: padding check failed

Occasionally (such as just now) I have seen these two errors in arm: │ 13:21:25 [WARN] crypto error while checking RSA signature: padding check failed (in rsa routines:- │ RSA_EAY_PUBLIC_DECRYPT) │ 13:21:25 [WARN] crypto error while checking RSA signature: block type is not 01 (in rsa routines:- │ RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1) Are they anything to worry about?

Probably not. It probably means that some bytes got corrupted on the network, not that somebody's trying an attack. (If somebody _were_ trying an attack, this would be a stupid one, since it wouldn't work against any Tor software I'm aware of.) peace, -- Nick
