There is no way you can patch Crypto.sign. (or it would be bloody dumb)

Why do u think so?

Let's say you have leaking tap.

Patching Crypto.sign is like putting bucket under the tap instead of fixing the tap itself...

Public source code contains such comment:

Code:
/* Signature generation primitive, calculates (x-h)s mod q
*   v  [out] signature value
*   h  [in]  signature hash (of message, signature pub key, and context data)
*   x  [in]  signature private key
*   s  [in]  private key for signing
* returns true on success, false on failure (use different x or h)
*/

Why don't u want to use different x?
