Hi,
You can use random bytes as symmetric key.
See RAND_bytes() function to get random bytes from your selected
random number generator (by default it's the OpenSSL integrated PRNG).
Set the key (and the IV) in any symmetric algorithm by using
EVP_EncryptInit_ex() function if you use EVPs.
You ca

I am trying to use the OpenSSL crypto C libraries to generate symmetric and
assymetric keys. This is part of development of a key management server. The
library as such do not have any functions for symmetric key generation. That
is, all the "generate_key" functions are based out of
