I'm thinking that .verify will be more generic. If in the future we would like to implement something that verifies not a signature, but for instance is a number is a prime, then we can register a "prime" alg that implements verify and returns true if a number is a prime. > > Given that X.509 certs can hang around for a very long time, having a tfm in > the cert is probably a bad idea as it may pin resources such as crypto h/w. > >> > - ctx->cert->pub->pkey_algo = PKEY_ALGO_RSA; >> > - > I think you need this rather than the above.

I'll also try to integrate it with your sign-file as you suggested.
