Export a Certificate's Private Key to Various Formats

See more Certificates Examples

Loads a digital certificate and private key from a PFX file (also known as PKCS#12) and exports the private key to various formats: (1) PKCS8 Encrypted, (2) PKCS8 Encrypted PEM, (3) PKCS8 unencrypted, (4) PKCS8 PEM unencrypted, (5) RSA DER unencrypted, (6) RSA PEM unencrypted, (7) XML. AutoIt
