Generating X.509 certificates is hard. OS X has some APIs for outputting ASN.1 but they’re hard to use, and you have to figure out the exact ASN.1 structure that makes up the cert. iOS doesn’t even have those APIs. And guess what? To generate the certificate you still have to know the modulus and exponent of the public key, i.e. the raw public key data. Which is the problem you’re trying to work around with this. There really is no alternative to groping the innards of the public key blob returned from the Keychain. Even if it’s undocumented and even if Quinn says not to. Apple has fscked up their security APIs to the point that you have to do it. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
