Hmmm... what format are you using for private keys? OpenSSL can handle
several different formats.
d2i_RSAPrivateKey() is for use with PKCS#1 format. You may be using a
PKCS#8 PrivateKeyInfo structure which means you can use
d2i_PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO(), the value returned can be converted into an
EVP_PKEY structure with EVP_PKCS82PKEY().
Other functions can handle encrypted PKCS#8 formats.
Check out the pkcs8 application in apps/pkcs8.c for more info.
