The error logs indicate multiplePKCS12andASN.1 decodingerrors, such as:
* PKCS12 routines:PKCS12_parse:mac verify failure
* rsa routines:old_rsa_priv_decode:RSA lib
* PKCS12 routines:PKCS12_key_gen_uni:malloc
These specific errors most commonly occur when:
* Theprivate key does not correspondto the certificate being used.
* There is amismatchbetween the public and private key pair required for SSL handshakes.
This is a well-documented condition in Apache SSL configuration issues and explicitly covered under TLS
/SSL troubleshooting sections in cybersecurity operations contexts. The Cisco CyberOps guide also notes that SSL errors with key verification usually result from "improper key/certificate pairing" rather than file corruption or missing modules.
Thus, the correct answer is:
B). The private key does not match with the SSL certificate.
