Getting RSA private key from PEM BASE64 Encoded private key file

This is PKCS#1 format of a private key. Try this code. It doesn’t use Bouncy Castle or other third-party crypto providers. Just java.security and sun.security for DER sequece parsing. Also it supports parsing of a private key in PKCS#8 format (PEM file that has a header “—–BEGIN PRIVATE KEY—–“). import sun.security.util.DerInputStream; import sun.security.util.DerValue; import java.io.File; … Read more
