Hello,
I've been given a file that is supposed to contain a private key
in PKCS#8 format. I can successfully use the key with the
software that ships with this test key. The author insists that
it's strictly PKCS#8 compliant.
However, I'm unable to use the key with OpenSSL (SNAP-20030217).
"openssl pkcs8 -inform DER -nocrypt -in key.pkcs8" yields:
Error decrypting key
22742:error:0D0680A8:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_CHECK_TLEN:wrong
tag:tasn_dec.c:940:

error:tasn_dec.c:567:Field=pkeyalg, Type=PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO
The key is available at http://user.blue-cable.de/~anders/testkey_pkcs8.bin .
Can anyone shed a light on this?
Kind regards,
Thomas
