If this was done using encrypt and decrypt the block would have been of type 2 (the second byte) and random padding data visible instead of the 0xff bytes. .PP It is possible to analyse the signature of certificates using this utility in conjunction with \fBasn1parse\fR. Consider the self signed example in certs/pca\-cert.pem . Running \fBasn1parse\fR as follows yields: .PP .Vb 1 \& openssl asn1parse \-in pca\-cert.pem \& \& 0:d=0 hl=4 l= 742 cons: SEQUENCE \& 4:d=1 hl=4 l= 591 cons: SEQUENCE \& 8:d=2 hl=2 l= 3 cons: cont [ 0 ] \& 10:d=3 hl=2 l= 1 prim: INTEGER :02 \& 13:d=2 hl=2 l= 1 prim: INTEGER :00 \& 16:d=2 hl=2 l= 13 cons: SEQUENCE \& 18:d=3 hl=2 l= 9 prim: OBJECT :md5WithRSAEncryption \& 29:d=3 hl=2 l= 0 prim: NULL \& 31:d=2 hl=2 l= 92 cons: SEQUENCE \& 33:d=3 hl=2 l= 11 cons: SET \& 35:d=4 hl=2 l= 9 cons: SEQUENCE \& 37:d=5 hl=2 l= 3 prim: OBJECT :countryName \& 42:d=5 hl=2 l= 2 prim: PRINTABLESTRING :AU \& .... \& 599:d=1 hl=2 l= 13 cons: SEQUENCE \& 601:d=2 hl=2 l= 9 prim: OBJECT :md5WithRSAEncryption \& 612:d=2 hl=2 l= 0 prim: NULL \& 614:d=1 hl=3 l= 129 prim: BIT STRING .Ve .PP The final \s-1BIT STRING\s0 contains the actual signature.
