This has hit the list a couple of times and I seem to making great
progress thanks a lot to Jim. I believe I am now in the process of
compiling and I have one final compile issue left.

PEM_read_bio_RSAPrivateKey() returns a BIO *, not a EVP_PKEY *. So, I
am passing the wrong argument type when I call EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA().
Did I use the wrong call, or am I missing a call?

Thanks!

You've been very helpful Jim.

I grabbed "Network Security with OpenSSL" on Safari and have been
reading the relevant sections. If I understand correctly, to read an
external file, decrypt it using an internal private key and write the
decrypted out to internal data, I would do:

void fn(char *infile)
{
    char *pk_data = NULL;
    int keysize = 0;
    unsigned char rsa_in = NULL;
    unsigned char rsa_out = NULL;
    unsigned char pad = RSA_PKCS1_PADDING;
    BIO *in = NULL;
    BIO *out = NULL;
    BIO *pk_bio = NULL;
    EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
    RSA *rsa = NULL;

    pk_data = get_internal_data();

    pk_bio = BIO_new_mem_buf(pk_data, strlen(pk_data));
    pkey = PEM_read_bio_RSAPrivateKey(pk_bio, NULL, 0, NULL);
    rsa = EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA(pkey);

    in = BIO_new_file(infile, "rb")
    out = BIO_new_mem_buf(data, DATA_SIZE);

    keysize = RSA_size(rsa);

    rsa_in = OPEN_malloc(keysize *2);
    rsa_out = OPENSSL_malloc(keysize);

    rsa_inlen = BIO_read(in, rsa_in, keysize * 2);
    rsa_outlen = RSA_private_decrypt(rsa_inlen, rsa_in, rsa_out, rsa, padding);
}

I realize, I need some error handling. But, I want to make sure I
understand the interoperability of the core calls and that my process
is correct.
