encodePemPrivateKey

fun encodePemPrivateKey(keyPair: KeyPair, password: String? = null): String(source)

Encode a KeyPair to PEM format.

RSA keys are encoded as PKCS#1 (BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY)
EC keys are encoded as SEC1 (BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY)
Ed25519 keys are encoded as PKCS#8 (BEGIN PRIVATE KEY)

Return

PEM-encoded private key string

Parameters

keyPair

JCA key pair to encode

password

Optional passphrase to encrypt the key. RSA and EC use legacy PEM AES-256-CBC encryption; Ed25519 uses PBES2 encrypted PKCS#8.

Throws

if the key type is unsupported
