I've downloaded openssl-SNAP-20031031 and successfully installed it on a
Redhat 9 system.

I can successfully generate and self-sign RSA certificates.  When I transfer
the certificates to a Win2k system, I can open the certificate and the
properties indicate that it is a valid certificate.

However, for all ECC generated certificates, it's a different story.  For
all certificates I've generated and the ones generated by
/openssl-SNAP-20031031/demos/ssltest-ecc/ECCcertgen.sh show up as invalid in
Win2k.  The 'General' tab for the certificate reads "The integrity of this
certificate cannot be guaranteed.  The certificate may be corrupted or may
have been altered.".  The 'Certificate status' on the 'Certification Path'
tab, reads "This certificate has an nonvalid digital signature."

What does this mean and how can I fix it?

I am executing the following to generate the certificate:

openssl ecparam -name sect163k1 -genkey -out ecc1.pem
openssl ec -in ecc1.pem -des3 -out ecc1.key
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ecc1.key -out ecc1.crt

Any help would be appreciated.

Nabil.
