Probably, but why bother? Just use SecKeyGeneratePair(), part of the security functions (assuming this is something private to an app of yours and not needed for compatibility with an existing security protocol). A search in the docs on that function will turn up something to go on. P.S. I've not used it myself, and I'm not offering this from experience - I just googled how to generate key pair in Cocoa. There may be better alternatives. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
