15 Subject: Signing with envelope routines
16 Sender: ssl-lists-owner@mincom.com
22 I have been trying to figure out how to produce signatures with EVP_
23 routines. I seem to be able to read in private key and sign some
24 data ok, but I can't figure out how I am supposed to read in
25 public key so that I could verify my signature. I use self signed
28 I figured I should use
29 EVP_PKEY* pkey = PEM_ASN1_read(d2i_PrivateKey, PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY,
31 to read in private key and this seems to work Ok.
33 However when I try analogous
34 EVP_PKEY* pkey = PEM_ASN1_read(d2i_PublicKey, PEM_STRING_X509,
36 the program fails with
38 error:0D09508D:asn1 encoding routines:D2I_PUBLICKEY:unknown public key type:d2i_pu.c:93
39 error:0906700D:PEM routines:PEM_ASN1_read_bio:ASN1 lib:pem_lib.c:232
41 I figured that the second argument to PEM_ASN1_read should match the
42 name in my PEM encoded object, hence PEM_STRING_X509.
43 PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY seems to be somehow magical
44 because it matches whatever private key there happens to be. I could
45 not find a similar constant to use with getting the certificate, however.
47 Is my approach of using PEM_ASN1_read correct? What should I pass in
48 as name? Can I use normal (or even self signed) X509 certificate for
49 verifying the signature?
51 When will SSLeay documentation be written ;-)? If I would contribute
52 comments to the code, would Eric take time to review them and include
55 I'm using SSLeay-0.6.4. My program is included below along with the
56 key and cert that I use.
