OpenSSL fips mode fails to decrypt on windows

2007-08-10 Thread Elia, Leonard F.
I have a question about OpenSSL FIPS mode. I created openssl using the FIPS module, openssl 0.9.7m, and mingw on windows. It works cross platform with openssl FIPS created on Linux; my Solaris 10 version has been shelved for now. I can encrypt and decrypt out of FIPS mode. I cannot decrypt a

Thank You for explanation. I have one more question. I read that the size of public key for secp160r2 is 64B and for RSA 162. I need to illustrate the content of own certificate on some application mask. This certificate contain only some attributes from X509 format, but I want to put generated

I have not found this to be the case in a linux environment. You might want to perform the following experiment: Create a small text file and call it test1.pt, say something like: 01 The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog 02 The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog 03 The quick brown fox
