Hi,

I will be writting a web application that will accept certificates from
clients. What I really need is to get the private key from the client
and decrypt some data and display it. Clients that do not have the
private key will not encrypted data. Is this possible? Can someone
point me to the right direction.

Regards,

DS

a client will NEVER send a private key.

If you get the cert from the client, they will encrypt with YOUR public key,
and you will decrypt with YOUR private key. When sending data to them, you
will encrypt with THEIR public key (in the cert), and they will decrypt with
THEIR private key.
