I'm using carbonite to backup my important files to their servers. There was an option when I installed to manage my own encryption key which I chose to use. They asked for a pass phrase and I randomly generated one and saved it into my encrypted password database like I do for all my passwords. Then it saves the file Carbonite-Encryption-Key.pem to my desktop.
A couple weeks later I looked at the key and decided I would use openssl to open the encrypted private key so that I could print it out and store in a fireproof safe. No use making a backup of my computer if the key is stored on my computer right? So I ran the command: openssl rsa -in cbpk.pem -out priv.pem It asked me for my passphrase then I got the error: unable to load Private Key 22673:error:06065064:digital envelope routines:EVP_DecryptFinal:bad decrypt:evp_enc.c:450: 22673:error:0906A065:PEM routines:PEM_do_header:bad decrypt:pem_lib.c:423: After searching the forum I found out that means I'm using the wrong passphrase. It's highly unlikely that I'm using the wrong passphrase because I'm copying it from my database like I do will all my passwords but it is possible I somehow made a copy paste error. But before I give up and ask carbonite to re-encrypt all my data, I want to check and see if maybe the command I'm using is incorrect or somthing else you can think of. The structure of the key is: -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC,282AD1AE2F2F9350 encrypted private key here -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- Your help/suggestions are appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Carbonite-RSA-private-key-problem-tp21948172p21948172.html Sent from the OpenSSL - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
