gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8(3) gnutls gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8(3)
NAME
gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8 - This function will import a DER or
PEM PKCS8 encoded key
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/x509.h>
int gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8(gnutls_x509_privkey_t key, const
gnutls_datum_t * data, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format, const char * pass-
word, unsigned int flags);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
The structure to store the parsed key
const gnutls_datum_t * data
The DER or PEM encoded key.
gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format
One of DER or PEM
const char * password
the password to decrypt the key (if it is encrypted).
unsigned int flags
0 if encrypted or GNUTLS_PKCS_PLAIN if not encrypted.
DESCRIPTION
This function will convert the given DER or PEM encoded PKCS8 2.0
encrypted key to the native gnutls_x509_privkey_t format. The output
will be stored in key. Both RSA and DSA keys can be imported, and
flags can only be used to indicate an unencrypted key.
The password can be either ASCII or UTF-8 in the default PBES2 encryp-
tion schemas, or ASCII for the PKCS12 schemas.
If the Certificate is PEM encoded it should have a header of "ENCRYPTED
PRIVATE KEY", or "PRIVATE KEY". You only need to specify the flags if
the key is DER encoded, since in that case the encryption status cannot
be auto-detected.
RETURNS
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS is returned, otherwise a negative error
value.
