        %cert=$file.read($option(stringSSLCertificatePath));
        $str.evpVerify(%message,%signature,%cert,$option(stringSSLCertificatePass));

        # Sign and verify the signature using the certificates from options
        %message="test message";
        %sign=$str.evpSign(%message);
        if($str.evpVerify(%message, %sign))
        {
