I am now using this command: $ openssl smime -verify -inform PEM -in signature.pk7 -CAfile development_cm.pem -content content.txt And I get this output: content Verification failure 2788:error:21071065:PKCS7 routines:PKCS7_signatureVerify:digest failure:pk7_doit.c:804: 2788:error:21075069:PKCS7 routines:PKCS7_verify:signature failure:pk7_smime.c:265: It looks like it is all working, just that it is failing verification. But the content is so simple, that i can't believe that is the problem ! Is the problem CR/LF ? I am signing using FireFox on Windows to sign but using OpenSSL on Linux to verify. Any ideas ?
