Hello,
I'm trying to use openssl to generate curve key ,
as : openssl genpkey -algorithm X25519
however, result seems to be not understand by wg pubkey
openssl genpkey -algorithm X25519
echo -n 'MC4CAQAwBQYDK2VuBCIEIFBA+aTU9C5BrNPaJe0IVBZfZF39+8WqiYET0XEEM7Ba'
| wg pubkey
wg: Trailing characters found after key
How Can I do ?
We need to create private key with an internal tool based on openssl
library , sorry.
Regards,
Nicolas

This seems to work, maybe:
openssl genpkey -algorithm X25519 -outform der | tail -c 32 | base64
openssl genpkey -algorithm X25519 -outform der | tail -c 32 | base64 | wg pubkey
I haven't verified what's happening in the code though, so use at your
own risk. wg(8) is the best way to generate wireguard private keys for
use with wireguard.
