Function: importPKCS8

key/import.importPKCS8

▸ importPKCS8(pkcs8, alg, options?): Promise<KeyLike>

Imports an PEM-encoded PKCS8 string as a runtime-specific private key representation (KeyObject or CryptoKey). See Algorithm Key Requirements to learn about key to algorithm requirements and mapping. Encrypted keys are not supported.

example ESM import

import { importPKCS8 } from 'jose/key/import'

example CJS import

const { importPKCS8 } = require('jose/key/import')

example Deno import

import { importPKCS8 } from 'https://deno.land/x/jose@v3.20.2/key/import.ts'

example Usage

const algorithm = 'ES256'
const pkcs8 = `-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
MIGHAgEAMBMGByqGSM49AgEGCCqGSM49AwEHBG0wawIBAQQgiyvo0X+VQ0yIrOaN

-----END PRIVATE KEY-----`
const ecPrivateKey = await importPKCS8(pkcs8, algorithm)

Parameters
