Hi, everybody ...
I am looking for a way to produce an encrypted version of a private key
stored in DER format. The commandline tool 'openssl' just offers a way to
produce encrypted keys stored in PEM format (at least according to the
help text it gives out when abused).
I generated a key without passphrase in PEM format, then encrypted it (in
PEM format) using a passphrase, then I translated the original (uncrypted)
key to DER format. I tried to generate a crypted version in DER format
both from the uncrypted DER format version and from the crypted PEM format
version, but both ways just produced a file which did not differ from the
uncrypted DER format.
Questions:
- Is there something I don't know? (e.g. a reason why DER files are never
crypted or similar, but I actually _have_ such a crypted DER file from
another source, and I need to produce one myself.)
- Does anybody know a tool to convert a PEM file to a DER file other than
the openssl commandline tool? Where can I get such a tool? I even
think that it should be possible to convert PEM to DER without knowledge
of the used passphrase.
