I want to be like you! Exactly, the file is in PKCS #8 format, that command worked perfectly, I entered my password and worked well.
Now I want to sign a file. You said that I should use the the -sign option in the dgst command, right? Since I also need a md5 hash of my string I tried: openssl dgst -md5 -sign key.pem -out signed originalFile.txt It is supposed that I should sign using the RSA algorithm, so not sure where do I tell that to openssl.
