how to tell the pkcs11 library name to apache2 mod_ssl?

2012-03-07 Thread Magosányi, Árpád
Hi! I try to use a pkcs11 smart card (eToken) to store the web server's private key with apachemod_ssl. From the strace output it seems that mod_ssl successfully loads the pkcs11 engine. However it does not seem to find the pkcs11 library. Given that I see no attempt to load openssl.cnf, this is

weak key check?

Hi! Is the sentence It checks that p and q are in fact prime, and that n = p*q in RSA_check_key's documentation mean that it checks for weak primes, like the ones mentioned here?: http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2012/02/crypto-shocker-four-of-every-1000-public-keys-provide-no-security.ars

100 bits of entropy with FIPS/EAL4 certified hw RNG?

2012-01-18 Thread Magosányi Árpád
Hi! My application uses openssl-fips for random number generation, where the seeding have to have at least 100 bits of entropy coming from a hardware random generator which is certified either to FIPS or CC EAL4. Due to economy we want to use a USB token and not a full-featured HSM. I have

Hi! Maybe Mathias is in a situation similar to mine? I have an eToken. In keygen time I told the eToken that my new key is for encryption/verifying only. Now I wanted to have a cert req. Which should have been signed with the key. Which is encryption-only, enforced by the token. Because the key

Re: Is openSSL supported on 64-bit Linux ?

2006-11-13 Thread Magosányi Árpád
Hi! It seems the answer is yes, see http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=openssl Another question is what you call 64 bit linux. In debian there are the following processor families supported which I think work in 64 bit: alpha, hppa, sparc64 and ia64. At least two of them uses 32 bit
