I am not aware of any standard formats for keys other than PKCS#8
or PKCS#12. In particular, the algorithm-specific PEM encodings
output by "openssl rsa|ec" are I bel
Viktor,
The key format needed by the system is algorithm-specific DER format. It is
received from the user in the same algorithm-specific in PEM format.
The algorithm can be:
1) secp384r1 (i.e. created by "openssl ecparam -out ec_key.pem -name
secp384r1 -genkey")
2) rsa:2048(i.e. created by "

PEM and DER are strictly speaking encodings, not formats. The
underlying data is identical, an ASN.1 DER X.509v3 certificate,
which in the PEM
Just do base64 decode.
