Hello

I've got problems to decrypt a PKCS8 encrypted private-key with the openssl-application (not library), because the password is binary and contains NULL-bytes (0x00).
The PKCS8-object is valid.

sample-password:  (hex) '0A 0B 91 00 17 F4 8E 4D FA BD 31 3D 72 43 ED A1'

sample-cmd:
> passwd=cat 'binary_password_file.bin' (cat as example, also ussed other ways)
> export passwd
> openssl pkcs8 -in filename.pkcs8 -inform DER -passin env:passwd -outform DER

(Using '-passin file:passwdfile' or '-passin stdin' causes problems with 0x0A, cause these options read only the first line)

Platforms: Windows and Unix and I prefer not to write a C-programm to use openssl-library.


Can anyone help me to decrypt a pkcs8-encrypted rsa-key, using a password, which contains NULL-Bytes ... please :)?

thx
   Fabian
