242The PKCS#1 block formatting is evident from this. If this was done using
243encrypt and decrypt the block would have been of type 2 (the second byte)
244and random padding data visible instead of the 0xff bytes.
245.PP
246It is possible to analyse the signature of certificates using this
247utility in conjunction with \fBasn1parse\fR. Consider the self signed
248example in certs/pca-cert.pem . Running \fBasn1parse\fR as follows yields:
249.PP

273The final \s-1BIT\s0 \s-1STRING\s0 contains the actual signature. It can be extracted with:
274.PP
275.Vb 1
276\& openssl asn1parse -in pca-cert.pem -out sig -noout -strparse 614
277.Ve
278The certificate public key can be extracted with:

280.Vb 1
281\& openssl x509 -in test/testx509.pem -pubout -noout >pubkey.pem
282.Ve
283The signature can be analysed with:
284.PP
285.Vb 1
286\& openssl rsautl -in sig -verify -asn1parse -inkey pubkey.pem -pubin
287.Ve
288.Vb 6

296This is the parsed version of an \s-1ASN1\s0 DigestInfo structure. It can be seen that
297the digest used was md5. The actual part of the certificate that was signed can
298be extracted with:
299.PP
300.Vb 1
301\& openssl asn1parse -in pca-cert.pem -out tbs -noout -strparse 4
302.Ve
303and its digest computed with:
304.PP
305.Vb 2
306\& openssl md5 -c tbs
307\& MD5(tbs)= f3:46:9e:aa:1a:4a:73:c9:37:ea:93:00:48:25:08:b5

211.SH "NOTES"

213\&\fBrsautl\fR because it uses the \s-1RSA\s0 algorithm directly can only be
214used to sign or verify small pieces of data.

242The PKCS#1 block formatting is evident from this. If this was done using
243encrypt and decrypt the block would have been of type 2 (the second byte)
244and random padding data visible instead of the 0xff bytes.
245.PP
246It is possible to analyse the signature of certificates using this
247utility in conjunction with \fBasn1parse\fR. Consider the self signed
248example in certs/pca-cert.pem . Running \fBasn1parse\fR as follows yields:
249.PP
250.Vb 1
251\& openssl asn1parse -in pca-cert.pem

273The final \s-1BIT\s0 \s-1STRING\s0 contains the actual signature. It can be extracted with:

275.Vb 1
276\& openssl asn1parse -in pca-cert.pem -out sig -noout -strparse 614

296This is the parsed version of an \s-1ASN1\s0 DigestInfo structure. It can be seen that
297the digest used was md5. The actual part of the certificate that was signed can
298be extracted with:
299.PP
300.Vb 1
301\& openssl asn1parse -in pca-cert.pem -out tbs -noout -strparse 4
302.Ve
303and its digest computed with:
304.PP
305.Vb 2
306\& openssl md5 -c tbs
307\& MD5(tbs)= f3:46:9e:aa:1a:4a:73:c9:37:ea:93:00:48:25:08:b5
