Hello all,
I'm struggling to get some openssl elliptic curve based file
digest/digital sig work done. I'm able to generate both ec and rsa keys
without a problem, and am trying to digest a file using the "openssl
dgst" command. However, I get something like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ openssl dgst -sha512 -sign ec.key.prime192v2.pem -hex
-out ec.test.sig.hex.sha512 file_to_digest
Error Signing Data
10917:error:0606B06E:digital envelope routines:EVP_SignFinal:wrong
public key type:p_sign.c:103:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
The exact same syntax when used with an RSA key works fine. What am I
doing wrong? Am I missing something completely obvious?
FYI:
My system:
Dell PowerEdge 1855
-Dual Intel Xeon EM64T, 3.6 GHz processors
-4 GB RAM
-Debian Sarge Linux
-kernel: Debian stock "2.6.8-11-amd64-generic"
-OpenSSL 0.9.8a
Thanks,
Lloyd Brown
