Reads from an encrypted PKCS#8 private key info file into an "internal" private key string. [Superseded by RSA_ReadAnyPrivateKey.]

VBA/VB6 Syntax


Public Declare Function RSA_ReadEncPrivateKey Lib "diCrPKI.dll" 
    (ByVal strPrivateKey As String, ByVal nOutChars As Long, ByVal strEpkFileName As String, 
    ByVal strPassword As String, ByVal nOptions As Long) As Long

nRet = RSA_ReadEncPrivateKey(strPrivateKey, nOutChars, strEpkFileName, strPassword, nOptions) As Long

C/C++ Syntax


long __stdcall RSA_ReadEncPrivateKey(char *szOutput, long nOutChars, const char *szEpkFile, const char *szPassword, long nOptions);

Parameters

szOutput: [out] to receive encoded private key data in "internal" format.
nOutChars: [in] specifying the maximum number of characters to be received.
szEpkFile: [in] specifying the filename of a PKCS-8 encrypted private key info file (or a string containing the key in PEM format).
szPassword: [in] containing the password
