Thanks so much! That was exactly it. Switching from BN_bn2bin() to EC_KEY_priv2oct() resolves the problem. (As does BN_bn2binpad(), but using the more standard binary format seems preferable.) I will also look into pre-flighting the calls with a NULL buffer. Mike P.S. not sure why it crashed for you, but I’d guess some combination of different OpenSSL versions and an error return being ignored by the sample code. I appreciate you taking a look despite that. -- openssl-users mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-users
