I am having problems connecting to a system that requires a client certificate. Generated the csr using the relevant openssl commands and sent that to the required authority for signing. That has come back as a valid certificate (can use openssl x509 to verify the certificate content), but usin

Steve, The project I'm working on is not an SSL solution. I just need to create keys and sign certificates and a few other cryptographic activities. I'm using the OpenSSL crypto library to create/manage certificates. My only remaining hurdle is to sign the certs using an elliptic curve key and
