Hello Jan,

Decide on what your public exponent(e) should be, and either use
RSA_X931_derive_ex() if you are using an older openssl which supports
this function or follow rsa_builtin_keygen() from crypto/rsa/rsa_gen.c
on how to derive private exponent(d) and modulus(n).

By the way, technically, you do not need private exponent(d) for
signing, as you already have CRT components.

What is the function that complained about missing d?

Thanks,
Thulasi.
