ms capi to openssl

[Bhaskar]

Hello ,

I am having RSA Public & Private keys & encrypted data on windows
machine. Both generated with Ms Capi.


I want to decrypt the data on linux using openssl.


[1] So how do I move the private key from capi to openssl ? Do I need
to change endian ness for private key ?
What do u exactly mean by changing endian-ness ? It is complete
reversal of bytes or just swapping of bytes within word.


[2] Before decrypting a data , do I need to reverse the bytes ? What
should I do , I am badly stuck .


Currently its a nightmare for me to get this working.


Thanks,
- Bhaskar.

Export the keypair to a PFX file and import to Linux. Don't worry about the
byte order since it's on the lower level of APIs and only matters if CPU
architecture is different anyway.
