Hello,
While experimenting with my apache webserver and Openssl, there came up some
questions. At first, what i am doing actually:
Actually I am using Client Authentication to identify and login to a
website. But now I want to add the possibility to encrypt files with another
users' public key.
My question is: Is it possible to use a SSL-certificate as a private key?
E.g. the following scenario: There are two users, user A and user B. Both
have a certificate to authenticate and login to site xyz.com . Now user A
wants to upload a file to xyz.com, but it should be only for user B's eyes.
So the file gets encrypted automatically by the server with user B's public
key (all users public keys are on the server, too). Now, when user B logs
on, and downloads the file, it gets automatically decrypted, using his
private Key (inside his SSL-Cert).
Thank you in advance for any suggestion,
Susanne
