Nxt transaction has the following format:

64 bytes of the header
64 bytes of the signature
X bytes of the attachment

Before signing it looks:

64 bytes of the header
64 zeros
X bytes of the attachment

All [64+64+X] bytes r signed and the signature is placed instead of the zeros.

PS: Ordinary payment is the only transaction that doesn't have an attachment.

Then unless the signature can have more than one equivalent representation I don't see why we actually *have* a malleability problem?

Care to enlighten me?


Isn't there a second signature of the issuer? I mean I do not want a node to change my transactions, right?

Sorry, was somehow confused by thinking of blocks.
