I build a DSA x5.09 512 bit key using generateKeyPair() in jdk1.1.1. I =
then ship the public key over the wire as a Serialized Object ( =
objectoutputstream.writeobject()). The other side of the wire does an =
object read, and the an objectwrite to a file. The file should now =
contain an X.509 DSA public key which I can use in javakey -ik <file>.

However I get the following error:

C:\java\SecureFiles> javakey -ik willard c:/tmp/willard
Error: io error[DerInput.getLength(), unsupported [ 109 ]]

and my identity db does indeed contain willard

What gives?

Jon
