SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

12       softhsm2-keyconv can convert BIND .private-key files to the PKCS#8 file
13       format.  This is so that you can import the PKCS#8 file into libsofthsm
14       using the command softhsm2-util.  If you have another file format, then
15       openssl probably can help you to convert it into the PKCS#8  file  for‐
16       mat.
