...and everything works now. A good thing is I created my first keypair, certificate, encrypted message and signed message and decrypted and verified them ok. Bad thing is it took all day. With half a dozen different PGP implementations I never spent more than an hour or two to make them do the basic stuff. If this relation holds for all work with S/MIME or PGP (which I guess is so) I can tell you which one will be the future standard.
BTW, our project for the day was to script a simplistic Web based mail gateway supporting S/MIME messaging. A user could create a (Linux) account on our test box (probably to be smime.teleware.fi) and generate a keypair and a certificate signed by our "Authority". We would feed HTML to Apache with scripts using /bin/mail, "openssl smime" and Postfix. Does anybody know of any (public) Web mail service for sending and receiving S/MIME? I mean like Hushmail for OpenPGP. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
