The Sec* APIs are a world of pain. Of anything I’ve ever programmed in, um, 42 years, they are the ones that have gotten me closest to throwing my computer through a window in a rage. (Runner-up: CoreAudio.) They’re very vague and poorly documented, and their capabilities and behaviors vary greatly between Mac and iOS devices and even the iOS Simulator.
It’s been a few years since I delved into them, so I can’t help as much as I’d like. A few thoughts: - Shouldn’t you be using SecKeyCreatePair to create a key-pair? - The header at the top of the PEM data you’ll probably just have to edit yourself. - The incorrect data is probably a result of using different encoding/padding than what SSH uses. - Have you considered just using NSTask to call the ssh-keygen tool? If you don’t want to go down the crypto rabbit-hole, this might save you a lot of pain. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
