DESCRIPTION

       The PKCS#8 functions encode and decode private keys in PKCS#8 format using both PKCS#5
       v1.5 and PKCS#5 v2.0 password based encryption algorithms.

       Other than the use of DER as opposed to PEM these functions are identical to the
       corresponding PEM function as described in the pem(3) manual page.

NOTES

       Before using these functions OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(3) should be called to initialize
       the internal algorithm lookup tables otherwise errors about unknown algorithms will occur
       if an attempt is made to decrypt a private key.

       These functions are currently the only way to store encrypted private keys using DER
       format.

       Currently all the functions use BIOs or FILE pointers, there are no functions which work
       directly on memory: this can be readily worked around by converting the buffers to memory
       BIOs, see BIO_s_mem(3) for details.
