The 0x00 byte in the BITSTRING is the number of unused bits in the last octet of the encoded bit string. See X.690 as a BER/DER reference. Document is free to download from ITU website.

I have used header from my certificate - it does contain only ASN.1 structure data - unspecific.

The structure you can see with
openssl asn1parse -in pub-key.der -inform der

The added "header" are simply the first 22 bytes.
(not 21 (=18+3) - there is in correctly formated pub-key 1 byte 00h on begin of BIT STRING. Don't know why.)

The BIT STRING is yours pubkey.bin.

I hope it will help :-)

I have build the whole pub-key (in DER) from yours pubkey.bin by adding public key header - as wrote w...@omnigroup.com

If I did not make error, it could work now - try it.
It is in attachment.

openssl asn1parse -in pub-key.der -inform der -strparse 18

and you will see the same as by parsing yours pubkey.bin.

To see whole public key structure:
openssl asn1parse -in pub-key.der -inform der

This worked. I translated the .der key into PEM format, which I was then able to load into my python script with M2Crypto.RSA.load_pub_key(). I could then use the resulting RSA_pub object to encrypt my data and send it to the device.

So, my next question is, how did you add the public key header? What does this header look like? If I know that then I should be able to add it within my script and handle it all directly.

Thanks
