Hello,

Is there a way to read PKCS#8 keys? I need to generate RSA private keys in
software and store them as PKCS#8, and then later use them, but I can't
find the function I need to read back my pkey...

To store my pkey, I use PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey(out, pkey, NULL,
NULL, 0, NULL, NULL);

When I want to read it, I try 
pkey=(EVP_PKEY *)PEM_ASN1_read_bio((char *(*)())d2i_PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO,
     PEM_STRING_PKCS8INF, in, NULL, NULL, NULL);

But the result is invalid (the *(pkey.rsa) struct is badly filled).

I tried with both a self generated PKCS#8 key and a converted private key,
and the result is the same...

Any idea?
