Hey all,

Is it possible to use openssl dgst to generate and verify digests in hex format? I've been trying it for some time, and I can't figure it out. I can generate the digest in hex format without any problem, but I can't get it to verify (syntax examples below).
Generate the digest:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ openssl dgst -hex -sha512 -sign /opt/dsss/keys/rsa.key.2048 -out /tmp/tmp_sig /opt/dsss/datafiles/WRave2gif.c

Verify:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ openssl dgst -hex -sha512 -verify /opt/dsss/keys/rsa.key.2048.pub -signature /tmp/tmp_sig /opt/dsss/datafiles/WRave2gif.c
Verification Failure

or:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ openssl dgst -sha512 -verify /opt/dsss/keys/rsa.key.2048.pub -signature /tmp/tmp_sig /opt/dsss/datafiles/WRave2gif.c
Verification Failure

The similar syntax works if I leave out the '-hex' all the time, meaning binary digests. However, it's going to be a little difficult to use binary digests for my application.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Lloyd Brown
