Package: openssl
Version: 1.0.1-4ubuntu5.8
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
The OpenSSL 1.0 change log has the following:
Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and
doesn't include an implicit MD5 dependency. [Steve Henson]
However, PKCS#8 is not yet widely supported.
I suggest a -pemtype option that causes the PKCS#1 format to be used
instead when providing the -newkey option to "openssl req".
