Hi Steve, Thanks for your quick response.
I admit that I'm new to this technology so please bear with me. We want to use FIPS OpenSSL for all of our "over-the-wire" security and the AES_encrypt and AES_decrypt APIs for local password security. I created an AES256 key using "openssl genrsa -aes256 -out aes256key.pem", thus the PEM file. I want to get this file into an AES_KEY structure so I can use it to encrypt/decrypt passwords, etc. Any suggestions?
