Hi all,
I am working on some code that takes an existing EC Private Key stored
in a PEM file and uses it to create a digital signature. In my code the
call I make to read the private key continues to return a NULL pointer.
I perform the call as such:
pkey = PEM_read_PrivateKey(keyFile, NULL, NULL, "password");
I have confirmed both that I am referencing the correct file and that
the pass phrase I use ("password" in this example) is correct. I
confirmed the password by executing on the command line:
openssl ec -in signer_key.pem -passin pass:password
Any ideas why my function call would still return NULL?
