calling openssl from perl

2003-09-01 Thread Chris Ochs
I've been debating in my head over the best way to call openssl from perl. So far, what I am doing is calling it with 'system' and writing/reading temporary files when there is no password involved, and opening it for writing via a pipe when a password is used and passing it the password via

why I can't build certificate with one 64 or 128 bits size RSA key? Because it could be cracked almost immediately. :) You are probably confusing RSA keys (which are 1K 2K or 4K typically) with DES and RC4. /r$ -- Rich Salz Chief Security Architect DataPower Technology

Why would you want to do this? OpenSSL comes installed in these systems and other pieces may well require it. Have you thought through what things might and would stop working if you were actually able to accomplish this??? (Yeah. FUD. In overcoming my enemy I become him...) Sasha Nash wrote:
