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?

Hi, 

I'have generated keys in pkcs8 format with java and openssl. 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. 


Thanks
