You don't need the -idea option to decrypt a key. It automatically works out the encryption algorithm used so that: openssl rsa -in key.pem -out unencryptedkey.pem would work. The -idea option is only used to use IDEA when encrypting the key. However if your version of 'openssl rsa' doesn't recognise the -idea option its possible that OpenSSL was compiled without IDEA support. You may have to recompile it. See what 'openssl version -a' outputs. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N.
