Does anyone know if the privKey arg when using 
crypto.createSign().update(ct).sign(privKey, 
encoding)<http://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto_createsign_algorithm>can
 be a buffer, hex encoding string etc?

It seems (according to the docs & source) that it requires an ascii PEM (
L#2974 <https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/src/node_crypto.cc#L2974>) 
formatted private key, which eliminates the use of the 
crypto.DiffieHellman.generateKeys()<http://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_diffiehellman_generatekeys_encoding>private
 key as its only output options are 
binary, hex or base64.

Is this a design decision?
