RSA Private Key Algortthm
Where can I find a detailed description of how to compute the RSA private key? Well structured C or C++ code might do. Thanks, Mike. __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing Listopenssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you want example code, the OpenSSL distribution includes that in appls/genrsa.c. DS [...] I have been looking at the article you mention, and it does not provide enough detail. In particular, in the terms of that article, it indicates that Eve could compute d if she could factor n to obtain p and q. I assume that if I knew how d is computed, I would see why this is so. I do not see this in the article, and I have not been able to goog it.

-passout problem?
I am trying to use openssl to create a password protected key in openvpn, but not succeeding. I am not sure I am doing it correctly. With: # openssl version OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006 # uname -a Linux mbrc32 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 #1 SMP Fri Jul 27 18:10:34 EDT 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux # echo $vpnFullPassFile /root/code/keygen/vpn_targ/passVPNfull.txt from: # openssl req -days 3650 -new -keyout $1.key -out $1.csr -config $KEY_CONFIG -passout file:$vpnFullPassFile I get: file /root/code/keygen/vpn_targ/passVPNfull.txt is not present but: # ll /root/code/keygen/vpn_targ/passVPNfull.txt -r 1 root root 36 2008-02-11 11:43 /root/code/keygen/vpn_targ/passVPNfull.txt Thanks for your help.
