I think these new variables make sense, and reflect the correct
semantics, as you already mentioned.

I do, however, think the later variable should be called
"verify_attempted" (or "verification_", or "ver_"?), instead of
"sig_attempted", since verification is the complementary action on a
signed part, just as decryption is for an encrypted one.
"sig_attempted" somehow implies to me that one is trying to make a
signature, not verify an existing one.

jamie.
