Hi guys, I'm generating some keys with OpenSSL, and converting them to byte format using the following commands:
-------------- openssl genrsa -out private_key.pem -f4 768 openssl pkcs8 -in private_key.pem -nocrypt -topk8 -out PK.pem cat PK.pem | openssl enc -base64 -d > PK.key rm -f private_key.pem PK.pem ls -l PK.key -------------- This will generate a PK.key file (byte format private key) as expected. The size of the private key is variable. It can be anywhere from 487 bytes to 491 bytes in length. I was wondering if its possible to specify a length to generate (rather than keep running the above commands until the size is 487!)? A few other applications/libraries I have used to generate a private key (bsafe etc) have a constant 487byte length, and I was just unsure if this could cause an incompatability when trying to integrate the two.
