This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:

• "Programming questions are off-topic even if you are writing or debugging cryptographic code. Unless your question is specifically about how the cryptographic algorithm, protocol or side-channel (mitigation) works, you should look into asking on Stack Overflow instead." – Geoffroy Couteau, e-sushi
If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

• Could you maybe explain a bit what this question is about? As it currently stand it is very unclear. – Maeher Jan 31 '18 at 22:36
• I think this question belongs in here and on topic, hence should be reopened. It needs rewording to make it clearer but it's a right question... – Romeo Sierra May 29 at 15:18
