[openssl-dev] Upgrading OpenSSL

[Leon Brits]

Thanks for the help.

I've come to learn that my problem is the HSM. It removes the RSA values p,q and d from the EVP key before returning it. This is normal since it is protecting the key by keeping it in the HSM - duh. Anyway so, I cannot use it as a normal key. "Live and learn"

So this bring me to the next question: Is there any changes I need to make in the OpenSSL Engine for my upgrade (0.9.8 -> 1.0.2) to be complete?

Regards,

Hi all,

I am task to update two machines from v0.9.8z to v1.0.2 (since it is LTS).

With the minimal changes, I've been able to get the application on the machines to compile with the newer version and generate RSA 4096 key pairs. The applications are able to successfully use their respective private keys and certificates to establish TLS connection between them. However, when I used the CLI to check a dumped privatekey i got the following output:

% openssl rsa -check -in privkey.pem
unable to load Private Key
1995859152:error:0D078079:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_ITEM_EX_D2I:field missing:tasn_dec.c:489:Field=d, Type=RSA
1995859152:error:04093004:rsa routines:OLD_RSA_PRIV_DECODE:RSA lib:rsa_ameth.c:121:
1995859152:error:0606F091:digital envelope routines:EVP_PKCS82PKEY:private key decode error:evp_pkey.c:92:
1995859152:error:0907B00D:PEM routines:PEM_READ_BIO_PRIVATEKEY:ASN1 lib:pem_pkey.c:141:

Any suggestions at what is wrong with the key?
Note that an ID is stored in the RSA extended data since the private key may be stored in HSM.

Thanks for your time
