Hi,

Programming in C...

Is there any way to export a private key to a pkcs#8 ?
I have a SECKEYPrivateKey that I generate in InternalKeySlot.

CERT_CertificateTemplate exist but I can't find a template
for pkcs#8. I know it works to export it into a pkcs#12 so it should be possible.

Short answer: no.


Long ago (6+ years) the developers of NSS decided not to support
PKCS 8, and to support PKCS12 instead in the supported APIs.
I think it was the right decision.

THE common tool for exchanging private keys between mozilla,
OpenSSL, and Microsoft IE is the PKCS12 file.
