I have created the private key using openssl command
openssl genrsa -out ca.key 1024
but when I tried to load the same it is giving exception. I am using
LoadKey function to load the private key
string str("ca.key");
RSA::PrivateKey prkey;
LoadKey(str, prkey);
.......
......
Definition for LoadKey
void LoadKey( const string& filename, RSA::PrivateKey& PrivateKey )
{
// DER Encode Key - PKCS #8 key format
PrivateKey.Load(
FileSource( filename.c_str(), true, NULL, true /
*binary*/ ).Ref()
);
}
can anyone tell me what is the issue?
