And I am saying that’s naïve, at least where Apple’s crypto API is concerned. I’ve had to expend a lot of effort over the years to look at exactly what’s in those blobs to figure out the right formats, and sometimes write my own code to parse/generate them. (Apple’s code doesn’t support a lot of the formats, esp. not on iOS.)
