=head1 DESCRIPTION

The PKCS#8 functions encode and decode private keys in PKCS#8 format using both
PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#5 v2.0 password based encryption algorithms.

Other than the use of DER as opposed to PEM these functions are identical to the
corresponding B<PEM> function as described in L<PEM_read_PrivateKey(3)>.

=head1 NOTES

These functions are currently the only way to store encrypted private keys using DER format.

Currently all the functions use BIOs or FILE pointers, there are no functions which
work directly on memory: this can be readily worked around by converting the buffers
to memory BIOs, see L<BIO_s_mem(3)> for details.
