Hi Dave, you can try, but ... OpenSSL will give you not always the keysize back that you requested ;-) try e.g. openssl genrsa 1 OpenSSL returns not a 1-bit key, but -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- MCQCAQACAwEYTgIDAQABAgJMawIDAIwnAgECAgJMawIBAAICRhQ= -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- which is a 17-bit "key" with even(!) modulus.
