The error logs indicate multiple PKCS12 and ASN.1 decoding errors, 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:
The private key does not correspond to the certificate being used.
There is a mismatch between 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.
