Thank u Dr. Henson for the reply...
My specific question is as follows...
I want to set the public key in the certificate request (X509_REQ)
structure. The draft for SCEP says that the public key has to be encoded to
BER form and set it in the request...
Can u help me in solving this puzzle of BER encoding and setting it to the
request...
If u can provide me with small piece of code to do the above task I will be
very much greatful to u...
Regards
Suram

It depends on the data you want to encode and decode. If there's already
a structure and functions to handle it then this is relatively easy. If
however you want to write customised encoding and decoding routines then
this is much harder, at least with current releases of OpenSSL. OpenSSL
0.9.7 will have completely rewritten ASN1 routines which should make the
task much easier.
