Subject: Re: [openssl-users] Is it mandatory to reverse windows signature while 
doing verification in OpenSSL?

If you mean you’re using CryptSignHash(), and are reversing the bytes in the 
resulting signature, then yes, this is normal.  You’ll need to reverse the 
bytes when verifying the signature with ANY other toolkit/library, including 
CNG. :)  If it’s not too late, you should store the signature with the bytes 
reversed, and then reverse the bytes when you want to verify the signature with 
CryptVerifySignature(), so that nothing else needs to reverse the bytes.  If 
you later switch from CryptoAPI to CNG, then you’ll be able to remove the byte 
reversing code, since CNG uses the same byte order as OpenSSL.

CryptoAPI tends to put all large integer data in least significant byte first 
order (probably because somebody was accustomed to little endian on x86?).  
Every other library I’ve used does the opposite, so I strongly recommend any 
storage be different from what CryptoAPI produces/expects unless your main 
intent is to work only with CryptoAPI.
