----------------------------------
Assignee: Attila Bukor
> Standardize RSA private key format
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: KUDU-3207
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-3207
> Project: Kudu
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Attila Bukor
> Assignee: Attila Bukor
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: OpenSSL, security
>
> Currently, Kudu stores RSA private keys in PEM format using
> PEM_write_bio_RSAPrivateKey(), which doesn't specify the format in which the
> key is stored. It expects it to be PKCS #1 (BEGIN/END RSA PRIVATE KEY), but
> it seems there are some OpenSSL versions (CryptoComply) that use PKCS #8
> instead (BEGIN/END PRIVATE KEY). {{CryptoTest.RsaPrivateKeyInputOutputPEM}}
> fails due to this, as it compares the private key to an expected string,
> which is in PKCS #1 format. The read functions are explicitly said to handle
> any known format, so this shouldn't cause any issues, but it would still be
> nice to standardize on a single format (probably PKCS #8).
