Thank you! This explanation is the best explanation of what I am doing wrong.
All that I really know is that 1.) the cookie is in base64, 2) the last field of the cookie is the "security field", 3) the security field contains an RSA encoded MD5 hash of the rest of the cookie.

So I have stripped off the last 64 bits (after decode_base64) into $encrypted, Read the keyring.public to see which public key went with the issuing server (in $field[2]) and returned that value into $public_key.

I know I am a pain, but can you walk me through (in baby steps?) how I then initialize a 'new' Crypt key object, and then populate it with the values I have?

I am not slow, just a 'visual' learner. If I cannot picture what's happening in my mind, I fail to get it, so a walk-through will really help.
Thanks!!
