I thought all I had to do was create the same seed using RAND_seed each
time, however I still keep getting different key pairs.
Is there any way to have RSA_generate_key generate the same
public/private key each time? (I know this doesn’t make sense security
wise, but the work I have to do requires it).
Replace RSA_generate_key with your own function that returns the desired
key. Using the same seed each time won't work because intervening
operations can leave the PRNG in a different state. You could use your
own PRNG to replace OpenSSL's and then put it into a particular state
prior to calling RSA_generate_key.
