Thanks, that explains the 0x30 tag value. What about the DER encoding? Is that correct? The 'openssl asn1parse' output of the DER encoding is: 0:d=0 hl=3 l= 159 cons: SEQUENCE 3:d=1 hl=2 l= 13 cons: SEQUENCE 5:d=2 hl=2 l= 9 prim: OBJECT :rsaEncryption 16:d=2 hl=2 l= 0 prim: NULL 18:d=1 hl=3 l= 141 prim: BIT STRING
To me this does not look correct. There is a NULL object that should not be there. Also the algorithm identifier and the bit string should be in the same sequence. What ASN.1 type is i2d_X509_PUBKEY() supposed to encode? Is this a bug in this function, or am I using the wrong API?
