mbedtls CSR in ESP32
Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2018 4:05 am
Hello,
I have generated RSA public and private key pair and they are saved in SPIFFS file in ESP32. Now I am trying to generate CSR using the RSA private key generated above. For that, I am using mbedtls APIs and I am following this example
https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/blob ... cert_req.c
I am getting an error while loading the saved private key file("/spiffs/client.key") to parse using mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile() . This returns me an error -15616. Could anyone of you please help me to know what this error means and how to solve this?
I am uploading a relevant part of my code. Any help would be kindly appreciated.
Thank you
