Hi Harry,

yes your assumption is correct. swanctl decrypts protected private
keys and sends them as plaintext via VICI to the charon daemon.

Best regards

Hi,

Is this assumption/understanding correct? Going through the swantcl
code, it seems that the way it deals with encrypted private keys is by
reading the key, decrypting it, and sending the decrypted version to Charon.

If this is not the case, would anyone know what is the API to send the
encrypted RSA private key and the decrypt password to Charon through VICI?

Thank you in advance,

Harry
