SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
This is a set of function to load a stored key. The first two forms load a private key from a string or file, the second two forms load just a public key from file or string.
Loading a new key discards any previous key that was stored in the object.
When loading from a file, then the supported formats are "PEM" or "DER". The format is automatically detected.
When loading from a string, the key must be in binary DER format. This seems to be a mbedTLS issue, the documentation of mbedtls_pk_parse_key() claims PEM is fine, too.
Specifying a password is only required if the key is password protected.
RETURN VALUE
On success, returns true.
In case of an error returns three values: nil, a string describing the error and a negative error code from the underlying mbed TLS implementation.
