AFAIK, theoreticaly speaking you are right. "Public" and "private"<br>
key parts are independent. However, all used in xmlsec private key <br>
formats (PEM, DER, PKCS#8) include both "private" and "public" key<br>
parts. Thus, the assumption used in xmlsec library is that if you have<br>
private key then you always have public key too. It seems from your <br>
description that NSS uses the same assumption and I don't see any <br>
problems with it.<br>
