NAME

6       gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8  -  This function will import a DER or
7       PEM PKCS8 encoded key
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <gnutls/x509.h>
11
12       int gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8(gnutls_x509_privkey_t  key,  const
13       gnutls_datum_t * data, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format, const char * pass‐
14       word, unsigned int flags);
15

ARGUMENTS

17       gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
18                   The structure to store the parsed key
19
20       const gnutls_datum_t * data
21                   The DER or PEM encoded key.
22
23       gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format
24                   One of DER or PEM
25
26       const char * password
27                   the password to decrypt the key (if it is encrypted).
28
29       unsigned int flags
30                   0 if encrypted or GNUTLS_PKCS_PLAIN if not encrypted.
31

DESCRIPTION

33       This function will convert the given  DER  or  PEM  encoded  PKCS8  2.0
34       encrypted  key  to  the native gnutls_x509_privkey_t format. The output
35       will be stored in key.  Currently only RSA keys can  be  imported,  and
36       flags can only be used to indicate an unencrypted key.
37
38       The  password can be either ASCII or UTF-8 in the default PBES2 encryp‐
39       tion schemas, or ASCII for the PKCS12 schemas.
40
41       If the Certificate is PEM encoded it should have a header of "ENCRYPTED
42       PRIVATE  KEY",  or "PRIVATE KEY". You only need to specify the flags if
43       the key is DER encoded, since in that case the encryption status cannot
44       be auto-detected.
45
46       Returns 0 on success.
