Thanks a lot!
I ended up with the following code, which seems to works fine:
EVP_PKEY* pDupKey = EVP_PKEY_new();
RSA* pRSA = EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA(pKey);
RSA* pRSADupKey;
if( eKeyType == eKEY_PUBLIC ) // Determine the type of the "source" EVP_PKEY
pRSADupKey = RSAPublicKey_dup(pRSA);
else
pRSADupKey = RSAPrivateKey_dup(pRSA);
RSA_free(pRSA);
EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA(pDupKey, pRSADupKey);
RSA_free(pRSADupKey);
return(pDupKey);
If you see any problems with this approach, please let me know.
Otherwise..... once again thank you for all your help!
