You will then have a CMS encoder/decoder. There are a -couple of testing apps in testing/ which should show the general idea. Lots of -it is unimplemented (which it will tell you by throwing exceptions), but basic -RSA encryption/signatures and a few other things work OK. The encoder is much -more complete than the decoder. - -The encoder works by initializing it with some bits, then calling some number -of operations on it (compress(), digest(), encrypt(), etc) which successfully -'envelope' the data. The decoder works exactly the same, except backwards. (Of -course!) - -This was supposed to have been finished by now, but it's kind of stalled. I -want CMS support, I just don't really want to code it. So I've been occupying -myself with various distractions. I'll probably finish it *someday*. - -If someone out there really wants this soon, and is willing to pay some nominal -consulting fee (we're talking cheap), let me know and we can talk about -it. I think I need some external motivation of some sort to force me to tell -with the mess that is CMS. |
