Hello, I was experimenting OpenSSL 1.0.0 and I needed to create a request that must be signed with Whirlpool hash algorithm. However, when I used the command:
openssl req -whirlpool -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout key.pem -out req.pem It didn't work. The error message was: 3078702728:error:0606B06E:digital envelope routines:EVP_SignFinal:wrong public key type:p_sign.c:125: 3078702728:error:0D0C3006:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_item_sign:EVP lib:a_sign.c:279: I wish to know if the fact that whirlpool can't work for x509 requests is a decision of openssl developers or there is another reason. Perhaps I am not using it correctly. PS: I am trying to hack openssl source code to find where I could include changes that would allow to use whirlpool. Do you have any hint?
