[openssl-users] OpenSSL error message when decrypting Ethereum encrypted private key

[Chris B]

Hi Rich,

Thank you very much for the reply.

I get the same error message using -aes256 as -aes-256-cbc

/usr/bin/openssl enc -d -aes256 -a -in enc_private_key.txt -out
recovered.key -pass pass:TheBig7ebowski


bad decrypt

140383648536480:error:0606506D:digital envelope
routines:EVP_DecryptFinal_ex:wrong final block length:evp_enc.c:581:

Thanks,
Chris
