Subject: api for keys
Dear Sir,
I have a question regarding the api on signatures. In particular there =
seems=20
to be no constructor for keys of any kind, (public or private). Even =
though
the examples show how to generate keys it would be difficult to =
implement=20
viable signature systems if one could=04=04not input keys for an outside =
source.
Otherwise the even if the keys could be saved there would be no way of=20
retrieving them and checking signatures made with these keys at a later =
time.
I am sure some provision must have been made to save keys and then later =
=20
retrieve them. Please direct me to the proper documentation. Examples=20
would help.
Thank you for you assistance.
sincerely,
Michael A. Epstein
