RE: XML Security-C:: HCRYPTPROV DSS/RSA providers not set via Win CAPI
CryptoX509 using just the PCCERT_CONTEXT cosntructor)

Does this affect TSIK -> xml-security interoperability in general or would
this be just an isolated incident caused by the creators of my key not using
appropriate options?

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Can you think of a workaround?

I was thinking about calling the MSCryptoAPI functions directly - doing
something along the lines of VeriftDetatchedSignature() against the data;
unfortunately I don't know how to do the OpenSSL equivalent.

Lots of questions..

Thanks a lot for all the time & trouble this community is taking to help me.

Muchos appreciated...

Steve

W3C XML Signature recommendation doesn't mention ASN.1 encoding for DSA:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/#DSAKeyValue

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/#dsa-sha1

so I would say that proper signing procedure is not to encode DSA signature
in ASN.1 after signing and before Base64 encoding.

However, we could consider adding support for ASN.1 encoded DSA signatures
during verification process. Berin? Others?

Best regards,
Milan
