Re^6: Crypt::RSA Cant load private key

Hi grantm, I tried your code and its the same problem
message:
RSA.xs:146: OpenSSL error: no start line at decryption.pl line 38.
line 38 =

my $rsa_key = Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA->new_private_key($key_text);
[download]

It would be much to ask what version of module OpenSSL::RSA are you using?

Does OpenSSL need that the --- BEGIN PRIVATE KEY --- headers be there? Im very sure those headers are there, because I've executed the command:

$ openssl pkcs8 -inform DER -in pza000413788_1011171750s.key
Enter Password:
[download]

And I see the Headers:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
[download]

But what I ment is if should I have to change the format of the privateKey File or something. Any suggestion is really apreciated!

DER is a purely binary format. If you base64 encode DER data, and add those `-----BEGIN/END-----` blocks you get something called PEM. It's pretty easy to convert between them: `my $der = MIME::Base64::decode_base64( join "\n" => grep { !/^-----(BEGIN\|END)\s.*-----$/ } split /\n/, $pem );` [download] I leave the conversion in the opposite direction as an exercise for the reader.

This isn't the case. if I do base64 to the .key file what I get is: MIICxjBABgkqhkiG9w0BBQ0wMzAbBgkqhkiG9w0BBQwwDgQIyyJtIVAFvgECAggAMB QGCCqGSIb3DQMHBAgvf1KZF2K5qQSCAoAZwva/LcmuJWHZbsPyIUJlTUaQptlbTVYd K4eOspM8dIk5GlmPyi1K9kjrGyIXlLiJkmZTMCz7hCg72IBOnPYjEAlwQ8SBbST01S /vxO/oU7S3a6ReMMiXRBlWr5pcqORq0ovL85T3Pth9a7hnWdse87mVPC969e2QTBbC jqRRd+VcOUkq3h6Ko8dz/UWgVICrI225eZ+zC5Gt4Fw675Y0a9XdGDTbn42f3ciGXU r9Qy3P7ha5e3myqZa6pOy/H4aiaIQg+AY3L9O6yyW6aRuT9RSC7ijjq5wm1/CYYA6f /A4tOdez0vc9Rt0q/YZ1UazWI6lNzeRWINXLvN0OBGBrTavd7ypmMTlk71MDadaVTP op85Ve3aTIbkVtk8lQnbP5ItOtpkorrh5S1GxDHPvWMQZBwwQu8ndPrWdbmeT/xA8r VRCtpyNknnlTEDZREHXm+VVJoaImE2XPQ4juZAqzlykOrzkn+HBUYO1koLvti1SU7I GIryUcwtON7V2xMuoX6mMncNaW+LP0450H1YDgXTrbDBHJxx/1e+IYe4Hjbn5YtBfP 38vKrgc4qNG9pCcD4Zy603raqIuPaK0imH79koRr0ZfiKO9/9w8L/2JoJU1+GE+C95 mDfddmXX9ZtsZZINk0Q+/zN73gAWfa92QNvIydTjfblI+cEYw3AfZWSLrEapl6sycR NDzcY5o+KQIW5MPBtaWjvBCyRdcPAIbmZgZPwYZTVkcwTRfYzhwLu7Kwhf2MY93vc/ VpXqDF89wxst6R6lJur3UAZU4IHbIAkPy9iiwNVrmNQlPEOW7eRzsva1HtDgXJc1ma 46lgEqdZZqkgUS+cZlElknPxI26K [download] and if I do the complete openSSLComand I mentioned before I get: user@user:~/$ openssl pkcs8 -inform DER -in aaqm610917qja_1011180955s.key Enter Password: -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- MIICWwIBAAKBgQCcphXGAbrbUnaumkSTsbGrFIfkaajOpvP1RFcVcbpWe7JBNXAw ShKIH79QGLYEc9ATBmlxtjAma0B4ZRBTjmQ4vQrp9LwT3bCNX+9J9lUOHGsCysya u3VxGNoCbhBxMYQP835LjAcy1d4AScOjGx8hxTZ6AUXtMmyEe+0NNQsJnQIDAQAB AoGAF4PfFOBBmpbgdgl2be1ozFPCqokp7Aun55OgtvlhjYX4Fk3dT4JvEbwiTfXH rRdtjs2Rmp5M0Bedj/Ur5D8l0BqBQznSrm6JGaDMv40wOk265qoECda/zZ2tdjvU xmcYpuu2AE4mdvqVsMqDOVCSp/5aBUL+hv54OtADuVi/J0ECQQDIa1DW9ct2FsQT h6sNdvgjI35fJ/MKA0y/kLD0wbwHT1VbUE3GevHHSeYOccKnWErlw4ppt9jglEvt m/n1BlOlAkEAyBdN4sKUxbTy1NobPgQJ2UsmaCNU7JN9+wIgJ8gePkRktsHLE+ec yBhBki3rYvexbXlmOU94yfrzzPZuyBkcmQJAfAr/o6vJW7NHdBb55YGGnqjvJBHj uITGUaJKA5KMv7F4UOXo3Tlmv0ObocEDCvP4lzBpUHk7P/RI8i0hjWd3CQJAal0p A//XwflclJWUobTX33C5a+ZMQK5u673Hhh41JXiJ6TS/VUdr6loqkSBj3mo5IS7F jnWWihgi/bOKVEg1EQJACsF3shzuBETh5dyoqBJRP7EbzxB8SaeQapa9lJlkrOKD HAwVS32OtPWCmU3isOjbqh+Mc3fNRe0Y9xq+nsingg== -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
