Sorry....
You're right, of course.
I have no idea why this works though, since I end up with freeing the RSA
part of the EVP_PKEY??
But anyway.....
Do you have any suggestions, how to properly implement the RSA_dup()
function you suggested earlier, assuming that we are only talking software
keys?
Thanks,
