Earlier, you wrote: >> I also tried this with a shared db as Robert suggested and it appears to >> work correctly there in the test program I have.

I don't know much about your application, but it it is stand-alone, then it seems to me that the shareable DB solution is a good one. Those shareable DBs are the wave of the future for NSS. Just think of yourself as an early adopter. Maybe yours will be the first application to prominently feature that new generate of NSS DBs. As I understand it, by using the shareable DB, you don't need any NSS modification. A solution that requires no modification to NSS seems far better than one that does. > I can see from the implementation that I could extract the > SECKEYPublicKeyInfo structure myself but not get any further than that.

If you can get the public key info, then I believe there is a pretty simple way to ask if you have the private key for it. I can look that up. But if shareable DBs solve your problem, I think that's your best answer. /Nelson _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
