Something like this should do the trick:
byte[] encodedKey; // read from file
PKCS8EncodedKeySpec keySpec = new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(encodedKey);
KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("DSA");
DSAPrivateKey privKey = (DSAPrivateKey)keyFactory.generatePrivate(keySpec);

Subject: reading in PKCS8 DSA priv key to java
I know this may be off topic, but I wrote some code to create a DSA key
pair,
and matching certificate. The private key is stored in a file with PKCS8
encoding. I want to be able to read the private key file into my java
program. The certificate is used by a C based program.
Can someone give me some help as to how and read the private key into my
java
program.
Thank you.
