Hi Geoff, Just yesterday I managed to reach the same conclusion. After some guidance from Vadym, and some "light" reading I got to work with a commercial product from IP*Works that implements some very nice certificate management and PKI code.
I must say that I was a bit stuck on wanting to decrypt data the way I did, because I was somewhat mislead by the problem I am working in. I needed to process a part of an XML file that was encrypted using a PK. I wrongly assumed that the message was "simply" encrypted (a la cryptopp so to say) because "why on earth would they do it any other way!" (this will go to the famous last final words section). >From what I found, most commercial products are created to deal with secure communications over the internet and as such (as Geof pointed out), cryptography is just the starting point for the entire process. In my case, I received a PKCS#7 message when I expected to receive simple encrypted data. Just to show how a faulty grasp on the problem and a mind set on a different solution can go a long way to keep you from solving a "simple" problem. I would like to thanks all here that helped me out, specially Vadym and Geof, and quoting California's Governor... I'll be back ;) André -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Crypto++ Users" Google Group. To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected].
