Hi, Did you use Java keytool for generating the private key? If yes, what were the options. If not, then did you do it programmatically? What methods? what classes?

The thing that was not expected is the difference of the two files structure. The two files I generated look like that: The file generated with java -----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY----- MIICrTAnBgoqhkiG9w0BDAEDMBkEFLHA2SGrNrwcUsFrxFftTdvpff0kAgEFBIICgCe/dqz6 Z4Qn . bp2JoA19vvY9/z762P4hGSHJWQA4ltQVzvGXScVQ+KpobwU9YH5Qs4JGBPEO7b1L/ONpz+jB j+hF ykCw3uM= -----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY----- The file genrated with openssl -----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY----- MIICoTAbBgkqhkiG9w0BBQMwDgQIXNLEC6mo9bwCAggABIICgIEW1x+WeSW2K2BV . qWJ4VA95CfBeJbL9bjnbPog7A5qvhXmxV6rLDfwNyvzEbz2YkLWMDZp5io8Sp1TN fd/VfTQ= -----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY----- As you can see the lines have not the same length. Can anyone, tell me why the two files are different and If it's possible to use openssl PKCS8 keys with java.
