Hi Jim,

First of all thanks for your fast answer.
But still it don't understand 100%!
If have an SignatureValue which is

724PlFGHTTL1cFlLFU6g6UetcPVBEAN6oNpogAUx3rgELFH86gA+NqvjVf316zek

But how can I but this now into an ECDSA_SIG struct?

Jürgen

what he means is that there is no asn.1 sequence, just the 2 integers 
concat'ed. normally you would've expected to have something like this:

sequence { // der tag 0x30
   int r;
   int s;
}

in the absence of such a struct u just have 2 int's put together (no 
tags), as he mentioned. IIRC ssh-dss signature is similar, just 2 int's 
concat'd.

hope that's clear.
