Signature de la fonction importKey

def importKey(externKey, passphrase=None) 

Description

importKey.__doc__

Import an RSA key (public or private half), encoded in standard form.

        :Parameter externKey:
            The RSA key to import, encoded as a string.

            An RSA public key can be in any of the following formats:

            - X.509 `subjectPublicKeyInfo` DER SEQUENCE (binary or PEM encoding)
            - `PKCS#1`_ `RSAPublicKey` DER SEQUENCE (binary or PEM encoding)
            - OpenSSH (textual public key only)

            An RSA private key can be in any of the following formats:

            - PKCS#1 `RSAPrivateKey` DER SEQUENCE (binary or PEM encoding)
            - `PKCS#8`_ `PrivateKeyInfo` DER SEQUENCE (binary or PEM encoding)
            - OpenSSH (textual public key only)

            For details about the PEM encoding, see `RFC1421`_/`RFC1423`_.
            
            In case of PEM encoding, the private key can be encrypted with DES or 3TDES according to a certain ``pass phrase``.
            Only OpenSSL-compatible pass phrases are supported.
        :Type externKey: string

        :Parameter passphrase:
            In case of an encrypted PEM key, this is the pass phrase from which the encryption key is derived.
        :Type passphrase: string
        
        :Return: An RSA key object (`_RSAobj`).

        :Raise ValueError/IndexError/TypeError:
            When the given key cannot be parsed (possibly because the pass phrase is wrong).
