That suggests that an EVP_PKEY structure is being initialised incorrectly. In previous versions of OpenSSL an application could (but it was strongly advised against) manually set the pkey->pkey.rsa structure and type. If the function EVP_PKEY_assign_RSA() is used this should resolve that issue: that function exists in OpenSSL 0.9.8 too so it should work in both versions. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
