I need to sign requests before sending it to backend server. However the private key is given to me. So I need to import it and then use it to sign. I am able to import and sign in but that data is different from what I get by signing using openssl. I know its doing it wrong because when I import public key, i cannot verify it too. If there is a way i can avoid importing to keychain, that would be great too. Have been working hard on this for couple of days and this is a high pri work for us. Can some one please help. 

- (SecKeyRef) getPrivateKey {
//RSA KEY BELOW IS DUMMY. 

key = @"-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\nORtMei3ImKI2ZKI636I4+uNCwFfZv9pyJzXyfr1ZNo7iaiW7A0NjLxikNxrWpr/M\n6HD8B2j/CSjRPW3bhsgDXAx/AI1aSfJFxazjiTxx2Lk2Ke3jbhE=\n-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n";

NSString * tag = @"adpPrivateKey";

    NSString *s_key = [NSString string];
    NSArray  *a_key = [key componentsSeparatedByString:@"\n"];
    BOOL     f_key  = FALSE;

    for (NSString *a_line in a_key) {
        if ([a_line isEqualToString:@"-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"]) {
            f_key = TRUE;
        }
        else if ([a_line isEqualToString:@"-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"]) {
            f_key = FALSE;
        }
        else if (f_key) {
            s_key = [s_key stringByAppendingString:a_line];
        }
    }
    if (s_key.length == 0) return(nil);

    // This will be base64 encoded, decode it.
    NSData *d_key = [NSData dataFromBase64String:s_key];

if(d_key == nil) return nil;

    NSData *d_tag = [NSData dataWithBytes:[tag UTF8String] length:[tag length]];

    // Delete any old lingering key with the same tag
    NSMutableDictionary *privateKey = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
    [privateKey setObject:(id) kSecClassKey forKey:(id)kSecClass];
    [privateKey setObject:(id) kSecAttrKeyTypeRSA forKey:(id)kSecAttrKeyType];
    [privateKey setObject:d_tag forKey:(id)kSecAttrApplicationTag];
    SecItemDelete((CFDictionaryRef)privateKey);
