NAME

       gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8 - API function


SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8(3)  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
       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.

       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
       error value.
