Hi,

Hmm... how do I confirm that? The use-case where this code is running is
that I have a signed XML document and I'm verifying the signature. The
NSS db doesn't have the certificate (so the private key is not
available), nor the issuer certificate (or its parents).

So I *guess* the only way how xmlsec-nss can get the key (assuming you
mean the public key) is from the certificate.

No problem, I'll check tomorrow if it's really just about passing a
non-NULL returnedUsages to CERT_VerifyCertificate(); I just asked here
in case somebody more competent than me can point ouf if I'm missing
something obvious. ;-)

Thanks,

Miklos
