Hello again Dr. Henson,

Once again thank u very much but I am still worried with the function which
u pointed to...

I have gone through the code of X509_REQ_set_pubkey( )....

As far as I understood the function, it stores the public key in DER fromat
as it uses the function i2d_PublicKey( ).

I need the public key to be stored in BER format... I need to find out some
way to store the public key in BER encoding...

I request u to help me further in this regard....

Regards
Suram

Well there's some code in the apps/req.c application in the function
make_REQ(). Setting the public key in a PKCS#10 request is done with the
function: X509_REQ_set_pubkey().
