NAME
gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8 - API function
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 data 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 en-
crypted 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.
If the GNUTLS_PKCS_PLAIN flag is specified and the supplied data are
encrypted then GNUTLS_E_DECRYPTION_FAILED is returned.
RETURNS
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative er-
ror value.
