Wow... I was so confused!
Providing certificate as blob will force the routine to parse it...
This takes a lot of resources... If you wish to pass the certificate,
it should be already parsed.
But anyway... Why do you need the public part for signature anyway?
I guess the private key will be more useful...
But correct me if I am wrong here... Having the session handle allows
you to pull these two anyway, right?
