Answer 1

In my experience, LockBox 3 needs a PKCS#1 public key when working with OpenSSL generated keys. You must convert the public key to PKCS#1 before Lockbox3 can load it. (OpenSSL generates a PKCS#8 key). Use the RSAPublicKey keyword.

openssl rsa -pubin -in yourpublickey -RSAPublicKey_out -out publicpkcs1
