Hello, Sorry for the delay, I had some problem with... "delays" :). I have carefully read all of the suggestions from Kyle and Patrick. However, the serial issue was the most flagrant, definitely and I have immediately defined one. Concerning the other suggestions (KU, EKU, AKI), I agree with them

Hello everybody, I need to copy the Subject Key ID (SKID) from the CA certificate to the Authority Key ID (AKID) of a new certificate. I have extracted the SKID with AUTHORITY_KEYID *akid = X509_get_ext_d2i(ca_cert, NID_subject_key_identifier, NULL, NULL); How can I "put" akid in an X509_EXTENSI

Thanks, David, that's exactly what I needed. I already found some examples, but these are very clear as steps to create the cert. One more question, though: how do you convert an RSA public key from an (uint8_t *) type to the RSA type defined in OpenSSL (or to EVP_PKEY). I have been googling on th

Hello, I am developing an application which also has some CA functions. The application knows the public key, KpC, of a client which has a priori proven to this app the possession of KpC through an out-of-band mean. Therefore, when the application "calls" the CA functionality to generate the clien
