Hi, Thanks for the reply.
"That's because it's not a raw public key; it's a base64 encoded structure containing the key parts. It's a lot more than just stripping the header and footer." I was not aware of this. But I think my requirement is to send the public key in Base64 encoded structure format itself(after stripping of header and footer) . I have noticed that the server (implemented in Java) is successfully able to encrypt some secure data with the public key. But there is no means as of now to tell if I can extract the secured text by using my private key. I am new to OpenSSL and find it a bit difficult to understand and make proper use of the methods like the once suggested by you. Mine is an MAC application using Objective-C hence I can write code and call OpenSSL api's. Can you please share some code snippet which does the extracting of public/private key from the RSA object using OpenSSL? I have another query, if I manage to generate private and public keys from the RSA object (RSA object was created by call to RSA_generate_key) and extract the raw public/private key strings from the public and private key pair generated in PEM format, can I still use the same RSA object to decrypt data? -- View this message in context: http://openssl.6102.n7.nabble.com/RSA-encryption-decryption-with-OpenSSL-tp46234p46247.html Sent from the OpenSSL - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
