importPkcs8PemOrThrow

importPkcs8PemOrThrow

Import a private key from PEM-encoded PKCS#8 PrivateKeyInfo.

When algorithm is omitted, it is inferred from the key's own privateKeyAlgorithm (see importPkcs8DerOrThrow).

function importPkcs8PemOrThrow(
	pem: string,
	algorithm?: PrivateKeyImportInput,
): Promise<CryptoKey>

Parameters

• pem: string
• algorithm?: PrivateKeyImportInput

Examples

const key = await importPkcs8PemOrThrow(pemString, { kind: 'ecdsa', curve: 'P-256' });
const inferred = await importPkcs8PemOrThrow(pemString);
