But what I'm trying to do is use a (signed) public key to encrypt some data, ship it off somewhere else, and the destination to decrypt it with the corresponding private key. However, it doesn't seem that I'm really able to do that using the openssl command

RSA licensing for OpenSSL usage?

Hi, I am using an openssl in the commercial product. As we should get license for using RSA we were talking with RSA about the terms of licensing. The RSA person I was talking to says that they can not sell the license for RSA usage with an OpenSSL and that we have to buy their BSAFE product. Doe

Yes, you can't use an end user certificate as a CA (well there was this one broken one you could...) with most software because it isn't marked as being a valid CA. Either by having the CA flag set to FALSE in basicConstraints or implicitly because basicConstraints
