Re: Problems decrypting PKCS# Private Key , Docs needed

[Carlos Roberto Zainos H]

If its in DER format then d2i_PKCS8PrivateKey_bio() will handle the encryptedform, and d2i_PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO() followed by EVP_PKCS82PKEY() for theunencrypted form.Steve.

Thanks a lot dr Henson . just another little question  where are the references to d21PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO() and EVP_PKCS82PKEY(), I can't found it in evp.h and pem.h  in openssl web page crypto section also could'n find it... sorry.
I'm working in WinXP environement with openssl-w32-version
Thanks in advance

d2i_PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO isn't documented at present but it behaves just like
any other ASN1 function and takes a PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO argument.

EVP_PKCS82PKEY() is briefly mentioned in openssl.txt: it just takes a
PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO structure and converts it to an EVP_PKEY.
