I am currently trying to convert from OpenSSL to NSS (seemed like a good
idea at the time). The code that I currently have an issue with is
essentially ...
key=RSA_new();
if (key) {
key->n=BN_bin2bn(IssPubKey,IssPubKeyLgth,NULL);
key->e=BN_bin2bn(PubKeyExponent->value,PubKeyExponent->lgth,NULL);
decrypt_lgth=RSA_public_decrypt(lgth, value, (unsigned char
*)recovered, key, RSA_NO_PADDING);
}
RSA_free(key);
but the key is a public key.
I originally though that function PK11_PubDecryptRaw would provide the
same outcome (having encoded and imported the key - see NSS tech note #7)
but now realise that it only uses a private key (the normal way of doing
things) and cannot be used with a public key. I cannot find any other
function that will do this - so, is there a function that I haven't
spotted yet or am I completely wrong with this approach? !
Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.
