Dear Sir/Madam,

I have 2 question about the Digital Signature Algorithm:
1. Since the signature is the pair of 'r' and 's', how long is the
signature? Is that true that r is 160 bits
long and 's' is 160 bits long? So the final length is 320 bits.

2. I want to get only the 'r' and 's' from a sig file. Can you tell me =
the
structure of a sig file?

Thanks a lot!
