Hi all,
Does anyone know whether NSS library can support encryption of emails
using keys? Basically, my extension requires me to use
password-authenticated key exchange protocol to encrypt message
contents and change its header to multipart/encrypted for outgoing
emails, similar to Enigmail's OpenPGP key generation, replacing the need
of certificates? If this is not possible, are there ways to create DER
data and other details by deriving from
SECKEYPublicKey, SECKEYPrivateKey and PK11SymKey required for
CERT_NewTempCertificate and CERT_CreateCertificate method?
For now, the extension can encrypt message contents (in armoring form),
but cannot send out
the email as encrypted, due to no certificates. My project will involve
only the use the keys to encrypt and decrypt emails. If certificate is
to used, it will be temporary.
I have tried to search for C++ code samples, but to no avail. Appreciate
if someone can kindly post some code samples relating to encryption and
decryption of emails using keys in NSS. Thank you.
Regards,
Brian Teh, Singapore
