crypto C libraries to generate symmetric and assymetric keys. This is part of development of a key management server. The library as such do not have any functions for symmetric key generation. That is, all the generate_key functions are based out of assymetric crypto algorithms. Wheras I see

Hi, You can use random bytes as symmetric key. See RAND_bytes() function to get random bytes from your selected random number generator (by default it's the OpenSSL integrated PRNG). Set the key (and the IV) in any symmetric algorithm by using EVP_EncryptInit_ex() function if you use EVPs. You
