Hi, I have another problem now, I want to convert a pkcs#1 to a pkcs#8 using the openssl function. I noticed that there is a "PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey()", but I believe it produces a pkcs#1 public key, so how do i get a pkcs8 public key?

If you write using PEM_write_PrivateKey() it will use PKCS#1. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson. Email, S/MIME and PGP keys: see homepage OpenSSL project core developer and freelance consultant.
