- load_private_key(+Stream, +Password, -PrivateKey) is det
- Load a private key PrivateKey from the given stream Stream,
using Password to decrypt the key if it is encrypted. Note that
the password is currently only supported for PEM files.
DER-encoded keys which are password protected will not load. The
key must be an RSA, EC, Ed25519 or X25519 key. DH and DSA keys
are not supported, and PrivateKey will be bound to an atom (dh_key
or dsa_key) if you try and load such a key. Otherwise
PrivateKey will be unified with
private_key(KeyTerm), where
KeyTerm is one of:
- rsa/8 for RSA keys
- ec/3 for EC keys
- ed25519/1 holding the hexadecimal key pair in PKCS#8 v2
format, suitable for ed25519_sign/4
- x25519/1 holding the hexadecimal scalar, suitable for
curve25519_scalar_mult/3
