NAME

6       gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8 - API function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <gnutls/x509.h>
10
11       int  gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8(gnutls_x509_privkey_t  key, const
12       gnutls_datum_t * data, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format, const char * pass‐
13       word, unsigned int flags);
14

ARGUMENTS

16       gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
17                   The data to store the parsed key
18
19       const gnutls_datum_t * data
20                   The DER or PEM encoded key.
21
22       gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format
23                   One of DER or PEM
24
25       const char * password
26                   the password to decrypt the key (if it is encrypted).
27
28       unsigned int flags
29                   0 if encrypted or GNUTLS_PKCS_PLAIN if not encrypted.
30

DESCRIPTION

32       This  function  will convert the given DER or PEM encoded PKCS8 2.0 en‐
33       crypted key to the native gnutls_x509_privkey_t format. The output will
34       be  stored  in  key .  Both RSA and DSA keys can be imported, and flags
35       can only be used to indicate an unencrypted key.
36
37       The  password can be either ASCII or UTF-8 in the default PBES2 encryp‐
38       tion schemas, or ASCII for the PKCS12 schemas.
39
40       If the Certificate is PEM encoded it should have a header of "ENCRYPTED
41       PRIVATE KEY", or "PRIVATE KEY". You only need to specify the  flags  if
42       the key is DER encoded, since in that case the encryption status cannot
43       be auto-detected.
44
45       If the GNUTLS_PKCS_PLAIN flag is specified and the  supplied  data  are
46       encrypted then GNUTLS_E_DECRYPTION_FAILED is returned.
47

RETURNS

49       On  success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative er‐
50       ror value.
