Hello Walter,

Since your message has been languishing for over 8 hours now I figured that my two cents might be better than nothing. I spent a few minutes reading your code but got too confused. Example:

NSString *password = secretMessage;

Seems weird to set your password equal to the message.

Anyhow, assuming that you've done all this for good reason, you have to realize that you're dealing with some pretty poorly documented API there, OpenSSL and SSCrypto. I recently had the fun of creating an RSA signature using Perl's OpenSSL wrapper and verifying with the openssl library in my Cocoa app. It took a day or two of guessing before I got it working. The only advice I can give is to not assume anything, doubt the documentation, watch out for hidden hash functions, try to strip your code down to the barest essential and don't be afraid to poke around inside SSCrypto.
