Critical Errors

A Critical Error occurs if and only if one of the following events occur:

• The Software Integrity Test failed on start-up - this means someone has interfered with the DLL file.
• A Cryptographic Algorithm Test failed on start-up - for some reason one of the cryptographic algorithms has failed a known-answer test. In theory, this shouldn't happen, but we protect against the unexpected.
• A Pair-wise Consistency Test failed - a freshly-generated public/private key pair is invalid.
• The Continuous Random Number Generator Test failed - suspect enemy action!

You should never see a critical error in practice unless the software module has been tampered with.
