 * for problems with the security proof for the
 * original OAEP scheme, which EME-OAEP is based on.
 * 
 * Note that for RSA OAEP a security proof in the
 * random oracle model *does* exist if 160 < log_2(N/e);
 * cf. section 7.2 ("But RSA-OAEP with exponent 3 is
 * provably secure") of Shoup's paper.  (The slight
 * differences between the OAEP definition used by Shoup
 * and OAEP as defined in RFC 2437 should not affect
 * this result.)
 * A new proof can be found in E. Fujisaki, T. Okamoto,
 * D. Pointcheval, J. Stern, "RSA-OEAP is Still Alive!",
 * Dec. 2000, <URL: http://eprint.iacr.org/2000/061/>.
 * The new proof has stronger requirements for the
 * underlying permutation: "partial-one-wayness" instead
 * of one-wayness.  For the RSA function, this is
 * an equivalent notion.
