Hello, I write an engine which shifts private key operations to a hardware security module. I face a problem concerning the key generation process. The keys are stored in the hsm but there exists an external reference file, like an keystore, which is used to address the key in conjunction with an alias name. If I invoke the key generation then a certain key_id is not available within the key generation function. Furthermore openssl saves the key and not the engine. Therefore I can't create a certain reference keystore and an alias for a key. Is there a possibility to allow the engine to save the key?
Here is an example of the problem. The execution of openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout <key_id> -engine <engine> leads to the function call of rsa_keygen(RSA *rsa, BIGNUM *e, BN_GENCB *cb). But within this function and in no other function, which is called before or after rsa_keygen, the key_id string is available to the engine. But if the load_key function of an engine is called, an key_id, to specify the key, is available. Thank you for your help. Kind regards.
