PKCS#12 files can contain certificates but PKCS#8 is for private keys only. If you want to convert a private key contained in a PKCS#12 file to PKCS#8 format then something like: openssl pkcs12 -in file.p12 -nocerts -out key.pem openssl pkcs8 -in key.pem -topk8 -out p8key.pem should do it. Though you may need to change the options to the second command to get the right format (PEM or DER) and encryption. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N.
