Can I generate keys outside of BitWise and import them?
Yes, you can. You need to generate RSA keys using the PKCS #8: Private-Key Information Syntax Standard. Values should be encoded using ASN.1. The keys themselves should be encoded using DER. The following example will generate RSA keys for use with BitWise (these should work on many Linux installations, or Mac OS X; a method for Windows is still under investigation): openssl genrsa -out NBWPriv.key 1024 -outform DER openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in NBWPriv.key -out BWPriv.pk8 openssl rsa -in NBWPriv.key -out BWPub.key -pubout You can then use BWPriv.pk8 and BWPub.key as your private and public keys, respectively. Note: you will need to open these files and remove the headers and footers (the lines that say “BEGIN” and “END”). If you have any difficulties, please post in the Technical Support forum.
