At my app I have a SecKey which I want to sign some Data with it, and at my sever I need to do the verification process, but this time with openSSL. I didn't find any common key or any steps to achieve this between Apple Security framework and OpenSSL. For example, I've tried the following: Signing (Apple Security): let signedStrCFData = SecKeyCreateSignature(key, .rsaSignatureRaw, plaintextData, &error) Verifying (OpenSSL): ret = RSAverify(NIDrsaSignature, (const unsigned char *)challenge, (unsigned int)strlen(challenge), challengeenc, challengeenc_size, rsa); Which key to choose is not really important to me (as long as it's a reasonable signing key), so I tried multiple types of keys, but I wasn't able to do it. Any idea what I'm missing here?

Sry for the duplicate - I added a comment on an old post, but it's tagged only with 'System Extension' and without 'Network Extension', so I'm posting it here as well: Original post: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/133933?login=true&page=1#694688022 My question: Bumping this old thread - I have the same scenario, I created a VPN + Certificate payload, installed it, and now I have a VPN conf which I can access to only from the containing app, but I need to access it from the system-extension. As I read above it's not possible, I send messages between the extension and the app, and it worked fine for the SecCertificate, which I sent as a Data to the extension (using SecCertificateCopyData() and sendProviderMessage functions). The problem is that at the extension I need also the SecKey, and I couldn't find any way to pass it from the containing app to the extension. I even tried to pass it via IPC, but it crashed ( "This coder only encodes objects that adopt NSSecureCoding"). Is there any way to pass SecKey to the Extension, or to access it directly from there?

I've implemented a custom system-extension VPN (Packet Tunnel Provider) for macOS. At the extension, I need to use a 3rd party dynamic lib. The steps I did: Build phases: Copy files, with Frameworks destination Link Binary With Libraries Build Settings: I set 'Dynamic Library Install Name', 'Dynamic Library Install Name Base', and 'Library Search Path' to the lib folder I set 'Header Search Path' to the headers folder But when running the extension, it's crashing with the error Termination Reason: Namespace DYLD, Code 1 Library missing Library not loaded: @loader_path/somelib.dylib And Reason: tried: '/Library/SystemExtensions/A1111-someID-11111/com.myapp.myappSysExtension.systemextension/Contents/MacOS/libwavmodapi.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libwavmodapi.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libwavmodapi.dylib' (no such file) (terminated at launch; ignore backtrace) Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Also, is it even possible to use dynamic libs from a sys-ext?

I've implemented a custom VPN app for macOS (using Packet Tunnel Provider). I set includeAllNetworks at the protocolConfiguration. When this field is set, I can't connect and I can't send traffic even at the extension. Even simple calls at the extension, like getaddrinfo or curl fails. If I'm unsetting this variable (includeAllNetworks = false) then I can connect without a problem. In addition I can see those lines at the Xcode Console: Connection 2: encountered error(1:53) Connection 3: encountered error(1:53) Connection 1: encountered error(1:53) And those lines at the Console: No mDNS_Keepalive for interface en8/IOSkywalkLegacyEthernetInterface kr 0xE00002C0 NetWakeInterface: en8 <private> no WOMP uDNS_CheckCurrentQuestion: host unreachable error for DNS server <private> for question failed to send packet on InterfaceID 0x5 en8/4 to <private>:53 skt 74 error -1 errno 65 (No route to host)
