One note is that SSLeay and OpenPGP label the P and Q RSA constants the
reverse of each other. Normally it doesn't matter, but if you use the
extension with D mod Q-1 and D mod P-1 for the SSLeay structure you need
to get these right.
Also I see it says in the spec,
P < Q
Which may explain why it is reversed.
But it still doesn't interoperate with PGP 5.0. I may still have a
problem with my secring format (but the pubring V4 format seems to work
fine).
Worse, pgpe also encrypts using one of my keys (pgpk says it is fine too),
but I can't decrypt it - pgpv acts the same.
pgpk:
Type Bits KeyID Created Expires Algorithm Use
sec 512 331A8FBD 1998-04-04 ---------- RSA Sign and Encrypt
f16 Fingerprint16 = AF F7 A7 54 6F EB 62 C1 72 86 90 BA 18 0E D6 64
uid RSAKey
(it can say sec+ if I set it to axiomatic, but it still does the same
thing).
pgpv:
Message is encrypted.
Cannot decrypt message. It can only be decrypted by:
512 bits, Key ID 331A8FBD, Created 1998-04-04
"RSAKey"
