Dear Simon Glass,

> RSA provides a public key encryption facility which is ideal for image
> signing and verification.
> 
> Images are signed using a private key by mkimage. Then at run-time, the
> images are verified using a private key.
> 
> This implementation uses openssl for the host part (mkimage). To avoid
> bringing large libraries into the U-Boot binary, the RSA public key
> is encoded using a simple numeric representation in the device tree.

You want to run spellcheck over your comments ... eg. s/mutliply/multiply/ ;-)
