If I'm not mistaken, Firefox stores only a) private keys and b) certificates bearing public keys. It does not store public keys except inside certificates. Typical use is to generate a key pair, then generate a signed PKCS#10 certificate signing request (CSR) which contains the public key, and send that to a CA. Once sent, the public key is forgotten until the certificate is received from the CA, bearing that same public key. Do you have certificates for your public keys? _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
