You can use PK11_Verify (declared in "pk11pub.h") or the VFY_xxx functions declared in "cryptohi.h" to verify a signature. NSS Technical Note 5 has sample code for PK11_Verify: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/nss_tech_notes/nss_tech_note5 You can also look at how it is used in ssl3con.c: http://mxr.mozilla.org/nss/ident?i=PK11_Verify PK11_Verify is a public function exported from nss3.dll. We should find out why you couldn't use it. Wan-Teh -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
